Hello world!
Posted by Opinioneer under: On Various Stuff .
Indeed, Hello World! Let’s try to make a fresh new start and actually get a blog up and running.
For someone who was running a b2b online publishing network before blogs were everywhere, to not even have a personal blog is a little odd. I think the problem was that I wasn’t sure what to write in the first post! Not that I know now, but I might as well start with something. That’s my 2008 New Year’s resolution.
The Subject:
Even though this is technically a personal blog and as such there is no particular blog focus, I think the real motive is to interact with the community in order to deepen my knowledge about the world of domains, SEO and the related good stuff. That would help me both with growing my new online store, but also make something out of a small (200) domain portfolio I have somewhat accidentally built over the past 10 years.
The Name:
I seem to have opinions about quite a few things, so the blog name suits me fine. But I didn’t plan it. It just happened to cross my path one day when I was looking for another domain I needed. So I snapped it. Who would have know that’d be my blogs name!
The Template:
I’ve got to say, I haven’t found better designed free templates for Wordpress than the ones by DesignDisease and I ‘d like to extend a big thanks to Elena for making such nicely and uniquely designed themes. Very creative. Of course, the folks that she works with, Smashing Magazine, etc deserve a thank you too. Even though this “Gossip City” template isn’t exactly what I envisioned for my blog, it was free! and when you are just starting, free matters.
That’s all for now, Happy New Year! It’s 2008 already… oh boy!
