Introduction
Hello, Fediverse and welcome to the first post from my little microblog… It’s been a long road to get to this point, but after more than a few false starts, some frustrating moments as I tried to figure out why something wouldn’t work and a small victory or two, this little experiment of mine is finally up and running.
Keeping It Simple
Word Press can be a rather complicated beast with all the themes, plugins and configuration options it offers, easily overwhelming a new user. I think that’s why my previous attempts at getting this thing running failed so spectacularly. Of course, I learned a few things along the way, and keeping it simple just might work for me in the end. Knock on wood, crossing fingers and all that fun stuff…
Everything And Maybe The Kitchen Sink Too
At the moment I think this microblog won’t have a particular focus… I figure I’ll just write down what’s on my mind and see where it takes me. I’ve got all sorts of interests, so I might discuss the latest audio book I’m listening to in one post, my frustrations with local politics in another and who knows, the proverbial kitchen sink might get a mention too. I guess that’s the fun part of this experiment… saying my piece and finding out what others on the Fediverse think about it. I’ll be frank and say that I’m a bit nervous, a bit excited and I definitely know I’m stepping out of my comfort zone with this microblog experiment, but maybe it will benefit me somewhere down the road.
Conclusion
Okay, I’ve rambled on enough for the moment… I meant this first post to be fairly short and I think I run the risk of boring some people out there if I don’t rein it in a bit. I’ll end by saying thanks for reading this, feel free to leave a comment or like via your preferred Fediverse platform, and have a good day.
