Well, if you do, I&#8217;ll tell you that I am surprised myself.<\/p>\n<p>I tried to analyse this change of my writing habbits and pretty quickly I realised that it was the migration of my blogging software to <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\">WordPress<\/a> that triggered that change.<\/p>\n<p>As you might remember, one of my main dissatisfactions with <a href=\"http:\/\/nucleuscms.org\">Nucleus CMS<\/a> was the editor. <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\">WordPress<\/a> provides an excellent editor, which is fast, comfortable, and easily extendable (<a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/docs\/reference\/post\/#quicktags\">quicktags<\/a> are easy to add and edit).<\/p>\n<p>With editor hussle out of the way, nothing stops me from writing more, and thus I am free at expressing whatever I feel like and freeing my head from thoughts that would stay there for ages.  The more I dump, the more space (or rather thinking power) I get.  And the more thinking power I get, the more thoughts I get again.  As you can see this is the vicious circle, that I can&#8217;t break.  And even if I could, I woldn&#8217;t do so just yet.<\/p>\n<p>So, for all of you out there who like short posts &#8211; my temporary appologies. I will try to put some short items here too, but they will be mostly in the Links category.  That&#8217;s my educated guess. :)<\/p>\n<p>P.S.: 5 paragraphs to say a simple thing&#8230; that&#8217;s graphomania or some other disorder.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>Looking at my recent posts you might be thinking something like &#8220;What&#8217;s wrong with these guy?
