I was a generally good student, but I always had problems spelling. While I did eventually learn to spell (mostly), my hard work didn’t always pay off because I was sloppy while proofreading. I’m very grateful to the teachers who never let me get away with it - they had a herculean task. But I’m afraid today I let them down - I misspelled Scott Rosenberg’s name in a trackback to his blog. Doh! So Scott, please accept my apologies. And Mrs. Smith, Mr. Spencer, Mr. Lancaster, Mr. Montgomery, Dr. Chapman, Mrs. Atterman, and of course Mrs. Scobbie, I don’t suppose I could convince you to look the other way just this once, please.

And even though at this moment I have a log in my eye , I will say that I think it’s very important for and all IT professionals to not just spell correctly, but to become proficient proofreaders.

Welcome, everyone.

So, this is WordPress.  So far, so good. Got the domain, upgraded the hosting account, setup WordPress (very easy), played with themes, didn’t really like any, modded one I liked (pretty easy) after getting my wife to help with the colors (they’re not what I would have picked, but in the end I like them), and here it is.

Oh yeah, also setup Technorati, Google (submit, analytics, etc…), and Yahoo,  post one final post on Blogger, and post this one here.

Whew.

OK, back to business.
