I noticed that my first post was not dated correctly.

This is a test to see if this post is dated correctly.

I’ve owned this domain for a few years and haven’t done anything with it.  Recently I had a failed experiment with the domain nearlyvegan.com, which I owned for a year, and decided not to renew.  I had the notion that I was going to seriously blog about transitioning into becoming vegan.  Becoming vegan failed miserably, and the attempt at blogging failed as well.  All I succeeded in doing was filling my email inbox with requests to approve comments which were nothing more than spam.  I guess I let a few too many filter through and I became a target.

Instead of trying to make this into a topic specific site I am just going to blog about what I am doing from day to day.  I imagine that those topics will change from time to time, but I’ll still be me, so I guess that my name is the best domain name I could have now and in the future.

I’m certainly nowhere close to being “nearly vegan” anymore, so I am well rid of that domain.

To help in my quest to learn how to blog I ordered the book WordPress: The Missing Manual from Amazon.  I should get it on Tuesday.
