I just finished an article to introduce myself to the readers there that I won’t post back here, I’ll just link to it.
But there are a couple things I found out quickly about doing a post there. One is that Movable Type defaults to publish. Being a guy who saves frequently I accidentally published about a paragraph of my work in progress. I figured that out right quick and five minutes later I got a call from the editor asking why I pulled the post – hey, I’m used to WordPress and it defaults to unpublished until you tell it otherwise. It’s bad enough that I’m a compulsive rewriter, now I have to pay mind to my status.
The cool thing though is seeing my name and face right up top – I saved the screen shot of that one. It will be interesting to see the reaction of those who read the RC site, hopefully it’s as positive as the reaction to my blogging and news over the course of the week. That was a nice birthday present – not as nice as the one from my parents but more than I expected from the folks here. Even Joe Albero congratulated me.
I really wasn’t planning on spending the blogging day navel-gazing but I thought my loyal readers would like to know that the Red County Wicomico site is up and running. You’re the ones who have driven me to excel in my verbosity so I have you to thank as well. Now I’ll have to see when the little pushpin is graphically placed correctly because the Red County site is now practically coast to coast with my addtion.
As far as the RC side goes, for tonight they’ll get a few reruns of stuff you’ve already seen here so I have a little base of posts to work with, then tomorrow I’ll start posting both here and there. (If you’re really cool you’ll comment at both places and help our little corner of America stand out.) But since there’s something like 14 items in my “Blog ideas” folder in my Yahoo mail I guess I’d better get cracking, huh?
