I was just wondering about connecting the blog with the person who posts here.

Sometimes you get to know someone by their handle rather than their real life name, and it becomes difficult to make that extra connection.</p> <p>If being called fimm is comfortable, why change? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9668#post-107511 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:23:16 +0000 fimm 107511@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well <a href="http://wisob.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">http://wisob.wordpress.com/</a> has been rambling away for a bit, and I've finally got round to creating a @wisob1 twitter feed (wisob was already taken), to tweet when I add a post, and followed lots of cycling type tweeters with it. </p> <p>I'm debating changing my username to wisob on here as well, but I've used fimm on several forums over the years and I'm quite attached to it... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9668#post-103961 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:40:30 +0000 fimm 103961@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well, that's me told... :-)</p> <p>My boyfriend has a wordpress site (with a paid for url) for his business - it runs off the blogging software and he writes a blog on it.</p> <p>I'm an IT person in real life so I should be able to manage the technicalities of creating a blog (b/f doesn't ask me for help with his any more, although I did help out a bit to start with).</p> <p>Maybe I'll give it a go, if I can find the time... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9668#post-103942 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:45:55 +0000 chdot 103942@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9313&amp;page=9#post-103933">As seen here</a></p> <p>Lot of discussion today on blogging -</p> <p>"<br /> I sometimes wonder about trying a blog - but I'm not sure what I would say. </p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9639&amp;page=2#post-103889" rel="nofollow">http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9639&amp;page=2#post-103889</a></p> <p>"</p> <p>"<br /> One more blogger (and more frequent posts from other &lt;cough&gt; people who have been known to &lt;blush&gt; blog about cycling in their area) added to all the other factors, just adds to the weight.
