First of all, congratulations on getting it all set up. It looks great. The gryphon theme is definitely unique. It's also fun to see your artwork incorporated into posts. Re the problem of there already being tons of blogs, that's not entirely the case with writing and tech comm. There are maybe 200 tech comm blogs, and the content is sporadic. Some days I look in my feedreader and don't see much to read. So there's definitely a lot of room in the pool. It's always interesting to see what people from liberal arts backgrounds write. You might also want to add your blog to my <a href="http://techwriterblogs." rel="nofollow">tech writer blog directory</a>. Other topics, such as blogs about blogging, or blogs about technology, are quite common, but still interesting. Keep it up.
