To appease those that be....

Well, Debora mainly.

Since Joe has started blogging here, I thought I'd throw up something quickly, no pun intended. I'll be honest and up front about this -- I really don't like the interface to LJ. I'll admit that I haven't downloaded the client and checked it out, perhaps that would make a major difference. So for the time being, my real blog shall remain at www.xanga.com/the_wayne.

I also have one ace or joker up my sleeve, and that is the plan for a new hosting service for my domain.

THAT is an awful lot of stuff. One of my instructors at Gateway College uses them, he was showing me their control panel and it's pretty amazing. One of the things that it has is two different blogging systems! I don't know what they look like at this time, but I do plan on checking them out. My desire is to move my sparebrains.biz domain to them, right now it's strictly HTML with no extensions, but it would let me work with everything they are offering and that includes experimenting with their blogging software. So we shall see what we shall see.
