@ajroach42 I've only recently been getting into this too. I've got to say it's very cool, and definitely refreshing to see such a minimalist alternative to the Web. I busted my hump and decided to port my blog to a "phlog", so come say hi sometime:
gopher://gopher.fuzzjunket.com

Let me know when you've got your phlog ready to rumble — I'd love to have a gander.
