About the Prairie Gazette
This section started its own life as a separate blog on a subdomain of my first website in November 2005. At that time I hoped it would replace my abandoned Hungarian blog and serve as a playground to prove to myself that I am able to write “newspaper-like” articles in another language than my mother tongue… The blog used to have a tagline saying The view from the centre. Here is what I wrote about this in 2005:
Where is the “centre”?
A few kilometers from the place where I live there is a sign on the Highway #1 that says this point is at equal distance from the eastern and western coast of Canada. Now, this is the centre.Before immigrating to Canada I used to be an immigrant in an Eastern European country. It was just a move from a language minority status to a language majority status. In both countries I also used to be a journalist. Since I don’t see a chance to become a journalist again in a foreign country – I’ve decided to to create my own and personal online “gazette”.

Actually, I wasn’t precise about the “center”. Oficially it is called the longitudinal Centre of Canada. Anyway, since my attempt to create a permanently updated one-man-show type commentary on public affairs failed spectacularly… I decided to merge that old blog with my other blog, which has been focused on WordPress tips and tutorials.
Having all my interests under one roof it might give you a better idea of who I am and why I am blogging. Wish me persistence to keep it updated!
