The Blogging Life – My Experiences With WordPress, Part Two
In Part One, I recounted the rise and demise of my first blog, SFreaders.com, between 2007 and 2009. I made the first post to that blog on May 3rd, 2007, and the final post on October 29th, 2007, so I was actually only posting for a few days short of six months. The blog itself…

Hello from a Grumpy Old Git!
Hello there! Welcome to the GrumpyOldGeek blog, where you\’ll find me wibbling on about all and sundry. Initially, my reason for setting up this blog was quite mercenary: get my API key and forget about it afterwards. I needed the key because I recently started up my first WordPress blog, a self-hosted one at SFreaders.com.…
