[edit] Blog History
[edit] Thirdcharm
George began blogging in April 2002 fresh from high school. His first entries were about his hopes for a good college life and his reviews of popular television shows at the time. The title Thirdcharm was picked up from a fan fiction he made in high school relating to TV show Charmed.
When college began in June 2002, George's entries grew in length. He maintained weekly entries summarizing every personal detail possible as a Freshmen college student.
[edit] Brodcst Msktir
In January 2003, he changed the blog title to its present Brodcst Msktir (Broadcast Musketeer). The title was meant to represent a noble struggle in broadcasting since his major was Broadcast Journalism.
By mid-2003, he began to photo blog his college experiences.
A steady flow of entries and pictures filled his blog from 2003 to 2005. A tradition was to change his blog's template only once a year with seasonal themes.
In 2006, George moved his blog from Blogger to WordPress in line with purchasing his own domain at Digiputz.com. His entries in 2006 were about college graduation, career pathing, and nostalgia trips.
At present, Brodcst Msktir reached its fifth year in April 2007.
[edit] Getting hosted
After a trial run of hosting his blog in a shared paid account with friends and co-bloggers Matthew Ventura and Eric Sarmiento, George established his first domain in early 2006. He selected Digiputz to be the URL.
Part of leaving the Blogger-Blogspot setup was moving to Wordpress.
[edit] Video blogging
George began producing video blog entries in November 2007. His first vlog was about the reaction of his colleagues to the Manila Peninsula Siege and the curfew.
