The incredible Mr. Moor, who began blogging recently but quite reluctantly I must admit, has discovered the joy of blogging.
I helped him install Windows Live Writer and for the first several entries at his blog I logged in to his system remotely and took him by the hand to guide him as he made those [...]
If you’ve been a reader of this blog for any time at all, you’ll have seen me mention my friend Paul Moor, whom I have known now since the early 1990s, almost 15 years.
We met, originally, on a Writers conference, back before the World Wide Web even existed, during a time when we used Bulletin [...]
I was a bit disappointed yesterday after installing version 2.0 of Windows Live Writer that it didn’t give me the ability to create new Pages or to add Categories from the interface in WLW. So this morning I went to the WLW MSN Group and joined it where I found a thread describing the same [...]
While chatting with my friend Mike Neel in Skype’s IM, he informed me a new version of Windows Live Writer was available so I downloaded it and have just installed it. This is my first post from it. Mike informed me that it has more support for WordPress’s features, which pleases me greatly. One thing [...]
A week ago today I posted some thoughts about the tools I am currently using to discover and understand the traffic I get here at my blog.

Matt Mullenweg, the founding developer of WordPress, announced this morning that version 2.2 of WordPress is available. This is very welcome news indeed, because among the other things it includes is “A new Blogger importer that is able to handle the latest version of Google’s Blogger product and seamlessly import posts and comments without [...]
Yesterday or the day before, I was tagged by Tish and invited to list 5 goals of mine. I must admit that I am more into pipe dreams and fairy tales than I am into goals. It’s a character flaw I suppose to be a dreamer rather than a planner. When my [...]
A former colleague and friend, Jerry Pounds, is quoted extensively this morning in a Wall Street Journal article by Jeff Zaslow. So as Jerry basks in his moment of notoriety, I bask in the knowledge that I once knew someone who is considered quotable by someone who writes for a widely-read publication, and therefore [...]
Yesterday I learned another two-part lesson. I was trying to figure out how to change the stylesheet for one of the blogs that I administer so that it would indent the first line of all the paragraphs in a post.
I had already gone to the W3Schools website, a great resource by the [...]
