I’ve been thinking about doing this for years but always had some reason for not getting to it. Around 5am yesterday morning, I was jotting down a bullet list of miscellaneous ideas and projects in my personal journal. This was one of them. As I was writing down the general idea of a blog, the details suddenly started to flow out…structure, themes, content sources as well as the technical such as domain names, registrar, hosting, blogging application, etc. This got me excited to take next steps right away so I planned to get started after getting back from work. I spent the afternoon getting things set up with domain name registration, server space for hosting, and installation of the blogging application. I stopped for dinner with the family and to watch the big game between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers. By the time the game was over, I was ready for bed.
This morning, I configured my initial settings, structure and content. (You’re reading the first post.) I have work in a few hours, so I’ll stop here for now and continue with details about why and how I set this whole thing up.
