Kevin’s Blog

Rumor has it that the tag is not working any more. So this is the beginning of the post and this is the rest of it.

I’m back editing this post because the tag did in fact get stripped away. That kinda sucks but I guess its to be expected in code that is coming into maturity.

trackbacks, pingbacks, permalinks …

Where can I get a copy of Blogging for Dummies? I’m writing this and apparantly I can do lots of cool things. I see options for an Optional Excerpt and Custom Fields but I’m not sure if I really need those. At least not at this early stage in my blogging (or is it publishing) career. Trackbacks, now that seems like something I should definitly have. I want people to find their way back. Don’t I?

I also see that I can allow pings. I do. Why wouldn’t I? But should I tell people “one ping only”? It seemed awfully important in “The Hunt for Red October”

Allow Comments. You Bet. I want comments. I think comments mean you have a “good” blog.

Password-Protect Post? From who, or is it whom, I never remember but think whom sounds richer.

Post slug? I’m not even sure what to ask or comment about that but it seems like something you would want to do to an enemies blog and not your own.

Categories I understand.

I think I probably need a permalink but I don’t know where to get one. Other people have them and I’m gonna go somewhere and get myself one.

As you can see in the previous post. I figured out how to post a picture. Now I should probably figure out how to use the thumbnail that it asked me if I wanted created.

Well I promised I’d get back and write some more today so here I am. I’m tired and grumpy so I really don’t have much to offer other than I need to get some sleep. I read some of the other blogs here and it seems like everyone has their minds in gear and are offering meaningful insight into life. Maybe another day will be my turn offer the something when they have all run dry. At this rate I don’t expect I’ll be making the frontpage of movers and shakers here at wordpress.com

I guess its my lucky day. I’m now an official member of the coveted wordpress.com bloggers. As fate would have it, I am head out the door for an exciting day in Fort Collins and Greeley Colorado. We’ll maybe its not such a lucky day

more to come…
