Um, hi
So after trying to set this up all day, I think I’ve finally achieved it. Turns out I don’t know jack about MySQL databases or how to configure them so I ended up just using the handy link on the Yahoo! Webhosting Control Panel that said “set up WordPress blog”. I kinda wanted to conqueror it on my own, but I guess there’s a time and place for everything and when you can’t figure out how to connect to the database it’s probably a time to get your head back above the water and use the handy flotation device that’s been bobbing there in the water the whole time.
So. About this blog. I’ve been journaling/blogging at LiveJournal.com for three and a half years, but suddenly this summer I decided that LJ was too constrained and that I really needed my own blog on my own site that I could have ultimate control over (that would be the reason I was ignoring the Yahoo! Webhosting Flotation Device…) and that would be more visible on the world stage than my Friends Locked LJ. Now, I could always un-Friends Lock my LJ, but since I’ve been using WordPress this summer as the supreme ruler and God, I mean, humble student admin of the website HuntingtonDMA.com and since my family has had Bouma-Holtrop.com for 6 years and never really put it to any use, I thought that I’d put at least a sub-domain to use as my primary blogging site from here on.
I suppose I could’ve just left the post that came with the installation of WordPress that said “hello, world”, since that’s really all I’m saying anyway, but that would just be boring.
So, welcome one and all, and stay tuned for lots of fun features to come very soon, including, for the next month, daily postings of a cartoon that I drew when I was younger about a male cow with a duck’s bill. Don’t ask. You’ll see tomorrow.
