Wrestling with the Internet

I've been intending to get serious about starting an online blog/forum for some time now. I'm still not there yet, but I'm getting closer. It would be so much easier if I weren't on a shoestring (shoethread?) budget. I could just pay for web hosting, hire a developer, and set the darn thing up already. But instead I have to find the cheapest way I can.

That's why I ended up spending the better part of the morning today trying to figure out how to link up a blogspot blog with an existing domain of mine so that you can read the blog on the domain without ever leaving it. I finally figured it out. And it felt good.

The next phase, then, is to figure out how to take it the other direction and redirect my domain to the blogspot blog. It will hopefully be easier, actually. But the trick will then become how to build a reasonably good and flexible website using only blog architecture. A puzzlement!

I have to admit I've been a bit busy. My latest project will hopefully "go live" in a few days. I'm making a website in preparation for a conference presentation I'll be giving in a few weeks. With any luck it'll be my "coming out" party as a consultant.

Anyway, money being tight right now I'll be doing it all myself, without any fancy software help. I'll let you all know when it's up so you can rip-- I mean comment on my handiwork.
