Ok, my blog has been down for a long time... There is an entry that has been saved to the server since August 28th and they promised it would go online by midnight, not to mention the fact that it had been hit and miss the week before.  Hopefully this will get posted soon.

There are many things wrong with this blog provider, but it is free and it seems like they are working really hard to make things better.  I am sure it will be a great place soon!

However a little while ago Hubby bought me a domain name and found a sneaky way to host it for free on his companies webserver, so I was planning to move anyway.  I have spent the last four or five days frantically trying to understand Wordpress.  You'd think as a computer programmer it would be easy, but all the help sites tell you just to modify someone else's theme.  Finally because I was in a rush I thought I would give it a try instead of doing the smart thing and learning how to do it from scratch. 

Well it is up... sorta, I am slowly moving blog entries over as I can(why can't I get the importer to work?), and I will start adding new entries soon.  However I will be redesigning it over and over.  Also I will finally be able to categorize entries, and I will be doing that slowly, so if you use a blog reader articles may keep getting relisted as new, sorry. 

Alright, here it is, please don't laugh too hard it is still under construction:
