Purpose

What is the purpose of this web site? Well, what is the purpose of the millions of other Personal Web sites? Do they have to have a purpose? There are more blogs on the Internet then books in the Washington DC Library of Congress. Most of them just babble. So why should I be different?

Seriously, view my first Blog post entitled "Let's Get Blogging" for why I started to blog in the first place.

It was when I was blogging at Blogger that I started to wonder what it would be like to host my own server and my own blog.  Because I am an admitted geek, I do not have a shortage on computers, so I decided to turn one of them into a server. You can read all about how it was done clicking on the Credits tab above. This is where I give credit to the authors of the software, manuals, templates, and etc.
