Have I ever mentioned how much I love WordPress?

See, I am a total dimwit when it comes to computer stuff and internet stuff. So it’s a wonder why I even blog, or try to blog. But WordPress makes everything so easy, and your page still ends up coming out all crisp and clean and professional-looking!

Okay, I am NOT a walking commercial. I have a story of why I’m suddenly gleeful. I set up a second blog tonight (gasp!). And it was surprisingly easy. And there are all these templates you can choose from, designed by different amazing people, and I found the perfect template for my second blog. Soon you’ll see what I mean.

It is my ambition to have a separate blog for my mission. Not that I’ll have too much time to do web design (did I just put “I” and “web design” in the same sentence? Okay, even I will admit that was a little presumptuous) and other blogging things while I’m on my mission—I’ll have more important things to worry about. BUT I’ll most likely get to e-mail home once a week. So what I’m thinking is that I can send some kind of general e-mail out once a week to my brother or another trusty technologically-savvy family member (like my brother), who can then post it on my blog in case there’s anyone out there who wants to read it (yeah Haley, like people actually read this. You’re being presumptuous again. Did you take your anti-presumption pills today?). AND I just discovered that I can add him as a user, so I don’t have to give him my password if I don’t want to (what is he going to do, turn my blog into a shrine dedicated to himself? But the option is out there).

Wow, how cool is the internet? And by the internet, I mean the brilliant inner workings of WordPress (and other blog sites who have probably thought of the same thing).

Do you think if I sing WordPress’s praises enough, they’ll give me free stuff?

Maybe if I had more than three readers

Hello world!

Well, I was going to wait a while before I joined WordPress, but I got intrigued with the flexibility of it all (though it may be like ordering coffee–too many options is just stressful). This is still just an experiment (see http://www.xanga.com/theRunestone), but we’ll see how it goes! I figure if I actually like the site I’m blogging on, I may actually have a good chance of being a successful blogger someday.
