Well, I got rid of the entry page I had on the server. It was annoying me. I put it up there at first to just be a place holder, but it looked so weird compared to the clean lean look of the WordPress blog, I hated to make everyone hop through it.

So you can just use http://gritzmacher.net from now on to get here. No more /wp … it will add that for you.

You can still see the old page if you’re curious. Another copy of it is at http://ae2t.net where it has been sitting for a year or so. Before that, it has been here and there as my ‘homepage’ for many years with few changes. You can see the photos of my kids snowboarding in 2000. The page was already old when I added them…

Well, I’ve finally done it, I’ve entered the world of blogging. Not only that, I’ve done it my way, with my own domain, server and software.

I had tried it a while back on Chris Pirillo’s service. I tried the 30-day free trial, but let it drop. I didn’t see it as worth paying for. This is costing more, but the server cost is justified for other things on it – for instance, so it’s sort of a free ride.

Plus it’s a test-bed for some things I’m planning for the future, but more on that later.
