My web guy says that submitting my blog to sites like Technorati can help increase the Cyborgelf's exposure. So I'm doing that now. Technorati makes you place some code into a post on your blog, in order to "claim" it. So here we go:

Technorati Profile

OK, so now what happens? You're guess is as good as mine, I'll just have to wait for all the millions of people to start swarming the elf.

OK, so I'm a little bit of a geek, but not a huge one. My webhost sent me an automated message that my Wordpress (blogging software) installation was out of date and did I want to upgrade. Sure, why not, I figure they know what they're doing. Alas, (I love using that word) after I updated, nothing worked. I couldn't post, I couldn't read anything, I couldn't make any changes. I called my web guy, Rich and he checked things out and said that WP (Wordpress) was having a spot of bother with their newest upgrade. In any case, it pissed me off, I mean, the whole point of this blogging stuff is that you don't have to be a super geek programmer to do it, right? I'm putting myself out there day after day, and I just want the stuff to work, I don't have the time or the money (Rich is good, but he ain't free, although I get a break for every link I give him.) to troubleshoot this crap.

So, I've switched from Wordpress to Nucleus. So far, I like Nucleus better, even though it's been a bit of a pain to migrate everything over, and some of the older stuff may not have made it in one piece. Anyway, I think it's funny that all these open-source yahoos keep griping about Microsoft, but their stuff just works, you know. I know that has nothing to do with Sci-Fi, but I wanted to explain why the blog may look different, or show up differently in your feed, even though my web designer (I'm building up a lot of credit with this one) is working on a new template. In any case, to give you clue about the next post...L.E. Modesitt.
