Welcome to the DM Blog!

Brief History:
Definitely-Maybe started out as a side project 3 or so years ago; a site where lovers of tech could come together and discuss new and exciting things in the world. After a number of ups and downs involving various hosts and conflicting technologies (gasp!), the main site was set aside as the primary focus became the forums.

The 'here and now'
For some time I have been toying with bringing a front page back to DM, but the story that is my life leaves little room for any heavy development at the moment. As such, I thought the easiest way to achieve my goal would be to start a blog. (I know, latecomer-am-I.)

The first questions I have been asked include: "What will the blog be about?" and "Why would you want to start a blog when you have the forums?" To be honest, I'm not sure yet. I decided this would not be a project that requires a lot of thought; I will simply get the framework up and build on that as time goes on. If I had to nail down a scope, I might say that this will likely end up being where my more favourite stories from the forums end up... kind of like digg.com's front page if you will (but not at all). In addition, this will likely be a spot for more of my own commentary on, well, whatever makes its way to "the front page".

Point in case: I'm taking this project every other day at a time. The beauty of it is - perhaps even moreso than our forums - is that the blog environment tends to encourage contribution. I would love to hear your feedback and thoughts/ideas on what direction we should take!
