Blog

Andrew is NOT happy.

After thinking about it for several weeks and talking it over with Brenda, I have decided to stop making entries to this blog. I guess the more I think about it, the more I realize the boys are just not all that interesting and who really wants to hear about them anyway. Sure, the grandparents do but we’ve even felt like the grandparents have lost interest. I mean really, they’re just babies – what can they do anyway? So, like I said, this will be my last entry – in this blog.

On a very related note, I have started a new blog on our own server called “Just Another Day”. What’s the difference? There are a few.

First, and most importantly, this blog is run on my own personal server, and it was built for us. That means that 20 years down the road I’ll still have full access to this site and all of the video/photos that I have posted. This blog is hosted by another company, and that’s not to say it won’t be around in 20 years, but I didn’t want to take a chance. It would crush me to put several years of work into this and then just have it go away.

Second, I’m a total nerd. I love getting under the hood of things computer related and this site lets me get under the hood (the hood on this blog is locked). That means I can customize the blog more and add other features that are otherwise just not available.

The last biggest change, and one that I’m really looking forward to, is that Brenda will now be able to do her own blog posts separate from mine. Every post on the blog will have the name of the person who posted it, so she will be able to add her own thoughts and comments as well.

Over the next few weeks, all of the old entries from this blog will be transferred into the new one, so there will still be a complete history. Also, this site is still being tested and tweaked, so every so often a post may appear that seems out of place. Don’t be frightened.

So while this is the end of this blog, it’s really just the beginning. I hope that you enjoy the new site.
