And so it begins…

Today I learned how to set up a WordPress weblog. Turns out that it’s almost freakishly simple, at least when going through dreamhost: a one-click install and boom! you have a weblog. A second click lets you select a theme. What could be easier?
I may start playing around with the theme configuration. One of the items on my current “I want to learn” list is acquiring more experience with CSS and stylesheets.
Oh, right, I guess it’s typical for a “first post” to provide some information about the intention and the motivation for this composition. It’s simple. I don’t like to lose things. I particularly don’t like to lose knowledge or skills. So this weblog is hereby established to record tidbits I learn each day, that I may review and re-know them whenever I like. And for you, dear reader, there are two possible benefits: you may also learn something that you didn’t previously know — or, if I relate something that you’ve already encountered or acquired, you may revel in the warm blush of your superiority. Win/win!

Hey, congrats on the new site! I’m looking forward to learning a couple things from here! I always loved this WordPress theme, by the way, so good choice. :) The first thing I’d do if I were you is activate the Akismet spam plugin (you have to create an account on WordPress.com first) and get rid of the captcha thing. A number of people (myself included) are less likely to leave comments if they have to type in a code.

Thanks! Jim suggested the same thing (Akismet), so I’ll be looking into it shortly.

Note: Akismet has been activated. No more captchas!
