Thursday November 17, 2005 Cross posting this to my Sun blog http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/cmh and my new blog at http://clairegiordano.org/blog/
I meant what I said in the "About Me" section of my blog: I'm hooked on blogging. I have Danese to thank for getting me started. And the fabulous team behind blogs.sun.com for creating the platform for Sun employees to blog on.
More importantly, I'm hooked on what I learn by reading other people's blogs. I know that a lot of people can't figure out how we bloggers find time to write blogs, or to read blogs, or to know what del.icio.us is -- all I can say is that once they figure out the answer to that question they may well become hooked too. Not only is blogging addictive, it's also a very effective way to share ideas.
All the above is drumroll and preface to a blogging decision I've made:
To take the plunge and create my own blog, separate from the ever cool blogs.sun.com platform. With a bow and thanks to the Roller blogging software that powers blogs.sun.com, I am switching to WordPress and have created my own blog.
And I have to say that WordPress rocks. So e-z to install. A promised 5 minute install that takes less than 5 minutes. A multitude of themes to choose from. (Thanks, Alex King, for the theme browser and the contest.) A thriving community that create plugins and themes and extensions. A collection of documents called the WordPress Codex. I'm quite pleased so far. (And yes oh yes, I have a lot more fiddling to do still.)
Hello world to http://clairegiordano.org/blog/ - And remember: WordPress rocks!
