Well, this being my first post ever on a blog, I thought I’d give some of my impressions. I must say I’m pleasantly surprised; I had no idea that so many functions are routinely automated at the point and click level, within a browser window. It just shows how long I’ve been out of the IT loop.

Ultimately - that is, if I stick with this beyond a month or so and develop these pages into something approaching a useful resource - I will need to actually start paying money to someone for a proper domain name, and will probably need a change of host. But, first things first. It looks as though a lot can be accomplished with WordPress’s free features alone, and so it is perhaps appropriate that a journey of a thousand miles begins in my case with baby steps.
