danaAnother day year, another blog attempt. I would really like to get in the habit of doing this more often (writing on a blog, not creating a new one :). For me the key is to make is easy to do and perhaps I can bring myself to find the time to do it more regularly. Also being a control freak I don't like using hosted services like Blogger because I hate the limitations that they impose (I guess that could be a topic for a whole other post eh?) In addition I have been looking for a .Net blogging platform that had all of the functionality of the major LAMP platforms such as Wordpress. I finally came across BlogEngine.Net which I am quite impressed with so far, so I will give this a shot and see how it goes. Fortunately it provides import/export functionality so if I turn out not to like it, I can always move the content to some other platform. :)
So what is this blog about?
Well, given that the majority of my readership (thanks Mom) are mostly interested in our family, I expect that the majority of the posts will be family related, but I intend to occasionally post interesting information that I glean from my work-life as well. The purpose for this is more as a way of documenting things that I spend too much time trying to figure out. Perhaps in the long run I will be able to help someone else as well as save myself some time when I have to repeat the task and can't for the life of me remember what I did. (Yep, I'm in my mid-30's now so the mind's not as sharp as it used to be.)
