It was a dark and stormy night...
First - thanks to Tim for setting this up for me (and not getting annoyed with all my questions about how this web blogging stuff works. I've been wanting to do this for a long time, and he set it all up for me today! And even backed up the content on the old site. He's so cool. Love you babe ;-) ).
As for the rest of you - don't hold your breath expecting to see something spectacular any time really soon on this site... this is all new to me. I have to figure out how to get all the stuff that used to be on timothyandheather.com over here. And then I actually have to do it :-)
Ok. Now for some content. This being my "first" post, it must be something prolific. But first - I need to figure out what each of these text fields I want to type in... Entry Body.... Extended Entry... According to the little help pane that popped up when I clicked the question mark above the text field marked "Extended Entry", An extended entry, combined with my entry body (which is the text field in which I am now typing) "make up the body of my entry". Sounds vaguely dirty. Or erotic?
Let's see... "I can use these two fields however I like: I could split up my entry over the two fields, or I could completely ignore the Extended Entry text and enter only the Entry Body text".
Ok. The first version of this post in which I made use of the "Extended Entry" text field elicited a "Hey - that SUCKS" from my better half, so I am revising this to NOT use the extended entry. Because apparently, what the extended entry does, is cause you to have to click a link to read the rest of my entry. Well hey - you don't know if you don't try.
Oh hey - I think I just figured out how I can format text. Most excellent.
Lucky for you I think I also figured out how to insert a URL. So here's your chance to escape this blog. Go. Run. Run fast!
Hahaha. Nice try ;-)
Seriously - you can see after a brief couple of hours of playing around with this, I am getting quite handy with it if I may say so myself. You'll notice I've managed to republish my 2003 Disney Marathon story in this new blog format. Not too bad for a rookie, huh :-) I even figured out how to lie about the date it was posted so it would appear to be chronologically correct!
Well - check back often... to re-read more epic adventures from the lives of TimothyAndHeather (Of course, if you never visited us at our old web site, this will all be New to You).
At some point, I promise to actually write some entirely new content. Especially since I have 2 weeks of vacation coming up, and I seem to have come to the natural conclusion of my latest book-reading spree.
talk to ya later!
