Well it's been a long time, but I finally have a blog site up again.  I'm now using DasBlog.  I was a bit frustrated trying to get it setup until I found this post at The Renegade Diaries.  I enjoy the relatively inexpensive cost of hosting at 1and1.com, but am sometimes limited by their settings and limited amount of control I have.  At some point I'd like to use a host with more control, but not until I have established this site for a bit.   Here is my list of things I'd like to do with this site.  I'm recording it here, so at some point in the future, I can refer back to it to see if I accomplished any of these.

• Get a better theme  I'm currently using the "Business" theme that comes with DasBlog, but I'd like to make it more my own.  With custom side blocks and more information.
• Explain the title.
• Add a tag cloud.
• Post regularly.  Starting out with a once a week goal, then get more prolific and post 3-4 times a week.  Not sure if I'll ever be a once-a-day poster, but we'll see.
• Promote my blog.   It doesn't do much good to blog if no one reads it.  Although, it is a good place to journal, I'd like to make this a useful site with information useful to more than just me.
• Build a list of respected fellow blogger's.
• Earn a little money through the site.  This will give me some motivation to continue as well as some extra toys I can play with.
• Add older archive posts.  Believe it or not I tried this before, using some PHP code (postNuke now called zikula - boy I've lost touch with that one)
• Post an about me page.
• Continue to keep this list up to date.

Ah.  The dreams of a geek with a new toy.  Let's see how well they come to realization.

Enjoy the day!
