New website!
You can tell it’s been a while since I’ve updated my blog and I’ve been telling myself that I really need to to get back on this thing, so much to say you know… so I finally decided that instead of continuing to support my own “blog” software, I would go with one of the canned programs out there on there on the internet.
So I took the time and installed 5 or 6 different PHP-based, open-source blog packages that I found on Google and settled on WordPress 1.5. All I can say is wow! I’ve used Google’s Blogger software (you can see my failed attempt at http://iamthedaddy.blogger.com) and I can easily say that WordPress blows it away. I mean, this thing has all the bells and whistles of even the best Blog packages out there (like TypePad). Officially, the latest version of WP is 1.2.2 but if you go to the CVS nightly builds, you can get a gamma version of 1.5 - this thing rocks.
So, i grabbed a template off the net and set up what you see here. Only, I added my own random image header function, changed some colors and brought over my old links and stuff. I hope you like it. Feel free to comment on any of the entries here.

Congrats on the new design Jay, looks great! You showen up in my referrers this morning so I thought I would stop in to see what’s new.
I recently moved from MT to Wordpress a few months ago and agree with everything you said. It’s amazing, easy software. MT is great, but it has a little too much for a basic blog. WP is a good no-frills alternative.
Glad to see your back to blogging!
