And So It Begins
Whoever said a woman always has the last word hasn’t met my husband. He’s a gifted and determined software programmer who has always had more faith in my abilities with a computer than I have. Or maybe it’s just that misery loves company?
At any rate, here I sit compiling my first article in my own blog. He’s been on my heels for a few months now and so it begins. I’m not sure what life this might take on but I’m sure it will soon present itself. Heaven knows everything else I’ve done has. So we’ll soon find out if this blog will make him as right as getting me into web design and development several years ago.

Yay! Now we have two bloggers in the immediate family! Who’da thunk?

And Then There Were Two
Well, I finally convinced my wife to start blogging. I’ve been bugging her about it for a while. Previously she has been running a few bulletin-board style web sites and she still manages the day-to-day stuff at HopeToAdopt.com. Her blog…

[...] I love that in today’s world technology allows us to reach out and connect with so many people who can relate to us because of some experience or trait. Some of my closest friends are ones I made online! I’ve only been blogging for a few days now but I was amazed to see the stats pull up visitors from outside the U.S. That was really cool to me and I hope to see it continue. Who knows, maybe one of these days I’ll be as smart as my husband (of course by then he’ll be smarter so I’ll still be behind!) I guess I’ll just have to keep getting up all the “stuff” I’ve done on this site to compensate. ;o) [...]

[...] I’ve been finding a lot of my time in the mornings going to reading other blogs. Last night I was telling my husband how incredible the concept of the blog is. (He’s rolling his eyes because HE’s the one that had to beg, plead and never give up encouraging to get me to start blogging!) [...]

[...] But he persisted and on August 4, 2006 I let him set me one up. And he gloated. A few weeks later I admitted that he may be right and everything snowballed. A few days later I found the direction for my blog. Now I had a reason to learn more about it so I joined/signed up at Technorati. My opening rank was in the high 700,000 range. Eight weeks later I broke 160,000. Apparently someone was reading my blog. What’s more is my traffic graph indicates that 50-60% of my traffic is returning traffic. Hmmmmm. [...]
