This is more about the blog itself than the trip. If you know me very well, you know I have a terrific Web site at markboyd.info. Well OK, it might not be all that terrific, but it has tons of information about me, what I do, and my family. So why did I start a blog on blogspot and not do it on markboyd.info? You know, I just did it and only a couple of days afterward did I ask myself why.
I guess I’ve always admired the Blogspot blogs. Blogspot is a pretty nice tool. I find it very easy to use. It handles all the dates, links, formatting etc. All I have to do is write. But the more I thought about it, on Blogspot I don’t have control of the site and so if Blogspot goes out of business or for whatever reason decides to trash what I’ve posted, my stuff will be gone. So I thought maybe I should be doing the blogging over on markboyd.info.
I spent several hours figuring out how to get the right blog software installed and working. I actually installed something else first and it was a mess. But after some poking around I found this WordPress software and it has all the stuff I liked about Blogspot, and I can run it right here on markboyd.info and make sure it doesn’t go away.
So onward and upward with blogging on markboyd.info. And I pray that my purpose (to glorify God) will be manifest on this blog.
