As I sit here typing this first post on a new blog I find myself wondering how it (the blog) will pan out. Just getting to this point, where I have a blog into which I can post has been quite a learning process. I am still feeling somewhat overwhelmed but hope that this will ease as I become more familiar with the way it all works. This ‘self hosted’ WordPress software is quite different to that which I used in the past to create my old web site & blogs & I am no ‘computer wiz’!
The old web site building software (iWeb) has not been supported for a number of years, & was pretty clunky to say the least. This new software (WordPress) is giving my grey matter a fair workout (probably not such a bad thing) – not only is the software & process new, it s also now over 7 years since I last ‘blogged’. Consequently the old website whilst containing stuff of interest, (judging by the trickle of ‘hits’ it continues to receive) now has a number of broken/out of date links. It is what it is, too hard to to go back & change it now.
Fingers crossed, this blog will continue for at least as long as we travel.
This is mauna@tpg.com.au just testing the blog.
I am usually “glanyard” on the caravan and motor home magazine forum. My wife and I intend doing a horse shoe shaped tour of Australia from Brisbane next year, so your notes maybe of interest to us if we are on the same track, so to speak.
