Blogging

Patience please, this blog will be up again ASAP!

June 13, 2010

So you may ask, what’s taking so long to rebuild this blog? Well, with a little help from my son, I got my blog up and running again. And then I was so happy with the new features of WordPress, that I just went on and on changing this and that…until I got spammed with the ‘Silence is Golden’ blog configuration spam. Short story is that my blog went blank and the shortest path without a reliable backup, was to rebuild :-) …and that is still in progress. Many old posts and new ones are yet to be ported over….again :-)

What’s the take home message here. Friends should not let friends run old blog sites. It’s much better to upgrade now and then.

Al Gore spoke at the SLA annual conference in Denver. His statement that political will is a renewable resource hit a chord with me. Among other things talking about his life, he worked as an Army reporter carrying an M16 and a pencil and later became an investigative reporter. You can read my complete official SLA blog post.
