Her blog’s subtitle is a great one to start a semester: "One nerd’s attempt to teach herself everything — for free."

I was annoyed at not being able to get across the city to WordCamp in San Francisco earlier this month, because of a scheduling conflict at the AEJMC convention. However, since I stumbled on Blogsome as a free WordPress hosting site, I’ll be using this blog to explore (and demonstrate) the WordPress interface. (I also might be able to convert my old RedLiner blog at Harvard from Manila to WordPress, but that’s for another day.)

I also might consider putting my own copy of WordPress on stepno.com to get a little more "administrative" experience. That’s for another day, too. (But apparently not much more than a day. Here’s a c|net video testing WordPress’s claim that the whole package can be installed in… five minutes!)

Nope… I just don’t have time to explore another blog platform right now. It’s enough to keep active with my Other Journalism blog and fall semester preparations.
