OK. I’ve been playing with the new blog thing and adjusting webpages to work with it for over 8 hours now. I have the first “layer” from the home page converted. Lower than that may just have to get done sporadically as I happen to update those pages rather than all at once. Maybe later today I’ll try some actual links to real news stories or blog stories or something. Or not. We’ll see. For now, a little more TV, then sleep. Night all. Hmmm… I wonder if I don’t actually announce the change to the site how long it will be before anybody notices and comments. I bet it will be awhile. I told two (2) people I was working on this blogging thing tonight. Haven’t mentioned to anybody else. Lets call it an experiment.

Of course all this adjusting my website makes me want to hurry up and get an iSight and get a webcam working again.

Oh, and I do have to figure out how to get an automated backup of this blog thing going. I’ll think about that later. Sleep is first.

Well, I went ahead and made the new Blog the homepage of abulsme.com. A bunch of things are still rough and need to be adjusted to really work right. But I’ve got some time this weekend. I’ll fix as much as I can, then anything that is left slowly fix over time. My priority will be things linked directly from the front page. The deeper things are, the longer until I clean them up and make them match the new front page.

Also have to put some things in place to start backing up this new stuff since it is all database driven instead of file based. Can’t be losing anything for posterity!

Testing grabbing something from a site.

A line in President Bush’s State of the Union address alleging that Iraq was trying to buy uranium in Africa should never been included in the speech, CIA Director George Tenet said Friday.

This is an example weblog entry. We added it as a place-holder, so the page wouldn’t be blank. You can delete it from within your control panel.
