Kick off

This blog is now underway.

This isn't the first post, but it is the first to be posted after "kick off". It would have looked a little lonely on the homepage all by itself, so there are some "pre match" older siblings to keep it company until it is joined by  younger brethren and soon enough it will be relegated to a page far down the "Older Posts" chain.

I have been blogging for many years now, can't tell you how many for sure because I have forgotten. But this is blog number five whereat I have posted.

And I have used all major blogging software in that time , with the exception of "Wordpress".

I investigated "Wordpress" many moons ago now and rapidly determined that "Wordpress" and I were not a good fit, and would never likely be. I forgot all about it until a couple of months back when suddenly "Wordpress" demanded I sign on to my "Wordpress" account before I could comment on Wordpress hosted blogs. He hadn't forgotten me, even though I had put him aside.

"Phooey" I thought - it is time to seek independence from blogging platforms who are correlating your every move and who think they know better than you what you want to do besides.

So here is this little blog with minimal hooks into me or anybody else who chooses to come here.
