New blog platform, new site host… another week in the marketing life!

by Tim Dempsey on April 14, 2008

OK.  Once again the apologies for stepping away from the keyboard.  Except this time I really was all over the keyboard stretching coding muscles that haven’t been used in a long time (and it shows)!

First, I had the Windows XP system crash that required a dirt re-install.  Naturally that took about 3/4 of a day.  Interestingly Home Server backup is still not working properly… but I have my messages in to the WHS support team.

Next, I decided that to continue the dirty-fingernail work of learning how these technologies and practices really work, I needed to move my blog from Typepad to a hosted site, and to embrace the open source platform, Wordpress. 

There is still a TON to learn and implement, but at least the site is back up, ugly home page and all.  Learning CSS and HTML enough to jury-rig Wordpress has been a bit of a chore, but we’ll get there.

In any case — thanks to all, especially those who are awaiting my follow-up to discuss community and conversation experiences.  I will get to you.

But tomorrow it’s off to New York for some business development meetings.  Back later in the week when I hope to start the outreach.
