I’m Branding

Nifty title, huh? Yeah, that’s me!

I started to brand myself, making me more unique in the online world. What does branding exactly means? Well, putting your unique stamp all over the online world, a way to be easily recognizable by anyone who encounters you online, umm… your online self. Ring a Bell?

Well today I just had one of my own crazy drawing excursions, and finally an avatar is here! It starts to appear almost everywhere I exist online: Mugshot, Deviantart, Last.fm WordPress, yatta, yatta, yatta… (Don’t you think “drn, drn jarinja” is better 😀 )

But there is one little problem. As much as I enjoy publishing things under a Creative CommonsNo! I will not publish my avatar under a Creative Commons license. Why? Well that’s me? I’m not under a Creative Commons license, am I? No, I’m not! And that is the reason for which I don’t release my avatar under a Creative Commons license! license, a brick struck me today. When the choice was made that the drawing I drew will become my own brand/avatar online, I started wondering whether it is a good idea to publish it under Creative Commons. I made the decision almost immediately!

Now if I find someone using it as their own, without my permission, you’ll be hearing from my lawyer and this is not a joke! I’m dead serious. A lawsuit will shortly follow, and the DMCA will be notified by the time you can say ‘DMCA’! And believe me, if needed I’ll take this up to a supreme-er court, even. So watch out for what you are doing!!! I’m dead serious about this, very serious indeed!

Why do I gravitate towards WordPress?

Why do I always gravitate towards WordPress? Each time I switch towards another blog service, I always wind up importing my posts into a new created blog on WordPress.

Even though WordPress offers a bit less functions than most blogging services, it’s pretty good. I like the huge theme selection available, even though you can’t edit CSS, yet more HTML but it’s nice.

And the other thing I like is the Open Source blog tool, WordPress. It’s one of the best ever written! I love WordPress. I use it on my Macedonian blog which is read by the Macedonian FLOSS community.

See You, um Read You!
