I have several interests that I feel passionate about–programming, web design, video games, drawing, religion/spirituality, writing, etc. The problem is that my website has always reflected that–a little bit of this and a little bit of that. In the end, it just becomes a jumbled mess with no real direction.

Direction is what a good blog needs. With RSS feeds, you can get away with not posting an article every day or so–A List Apart has proven that. Not keeping to a single subject, however, is suicide. Someone who is interested in programming likely doesn’t care about your thoughts on political silliness–in fact, it will most likely drive them away.

This doesn’t mean that one has to limit themselves to only one subject and ignore the rest. It only means that you have to separate them somehow. I am not sure why it was not until recently that this dawned on me. I read Geekologie regularly, but they have other sites as well–such as I Watch Stuff. The same goes for the ever growing Cheezburger Network. By separating subjects into different sites, readers are able to target what they want to see without having to wade through a log of extraneous content.

And so, for this new year’s reboot, I present the Digital Mugen Network. This main site will be dedicated to news regarding the site and various highlights, and more sites will be added in the coming days.
