This blog has been in development since it was created. Originally this blog was created in Movabletype. When sixapart decided to change the way they licensed and let users take part in the movabletype blog (version 3.0) I decided to look into other blogging systems. I came across many different systems but in the end decided I like the wordpress community and even more, the wordpress blogging system. It has come a long way since version 1.0 (where I started). In version 1.5 it has pretty much everything I could ask for. I am actually thinking about changing my main page over to wordpress also. It is very easy to use and seems to be very effecient. This blog will continue to change and hopefully will be around for many years to come.
