My brand new blog 2010

This is my brand new blog.  You might wonder why I’d have a new blog when I already have so many blogs out there?  Well, it’s called “optimism”.  You see, when I first started blogging it was just my notes pasted on a random site.  Over time, technology has evolved, yet I still have an issue of streamlining – getting all of my blogs to have centralized control.  What do I mean?  Well, I have many readers on www.2old2play.com so I want them to see my blogs.  I have Twitter followers.  There are many friends on Facebook.  Etc, etc.

What I WANT and don’t know how to do yet (and hope to discover quickly) is a single place where I can POST a blog and it populates everything else with centralized control.  Also, as a subset of that, I’d like to edit my blogs from my iPhone.  Well, Wordpress allows editing from the iPhone if you have a version 2.something or above.  My blog version 1 on my taitlifto.net site was the built in blogger utilizing wordpress, but it was a 1.x version, so I couldn’t use the iPhone version.  I had to install a MySQL database, upload config files for WordPress 2.9 (after configuring) and create a new blog (to avoid the risk of overwriting my old one) and give it ago and… it WORKS, so now I’m typing this with increased optimism but still a lot of work to do.

Wish me luck (or if you’re technically minded, maybe some advice)

Merry Christmas
