Anyone have a blog?

These are really cool.... I just put one together today to keep family and friends up to speed on our new life. The signup is free with WordPress and you get what looks to be a fairly powerful blog system that's very easy to use. Fairly addicting, too. Anyone else have one?

Todd,

I'm digging your blog software. Looks nice and you get to brand it on your own server. Did you license and install it yourself? Cost? Easy/tough?

Tom - Thanks. Kayla (Lili) is going through her butterfly stage

Richard, that is MovableType (www.sixapart.com) running on my domain/server (isp). There is a free version, but you have to have a server to install it on. There is a hosted version though (typepad). I have wordpress installed as well but don't use it...I've run almost every blog software known to man over the years. MT isn't perfect and runs as a cgi which has issues, but it spits out static pages so even if the db dies your pages are intact.

So your location is no longer at the track?

I noticed you sold the CS (quite quickly I might add) on F-C. Quite a lifestyle change. Congratulations, truly.

I have spent a lot of time in Red Lodge, Yellowstone, and the surrounding areas. The Beartooths are breathtaking (no pun) and Hellroaring lives up to its name. Now you need a turbocharged vehicle to compensate for altitude!

Again, congrats

E

I've chronicled nearly every race and substantial modification to my racecar for the last 4-5 years in mine.

Richard,

Did not know you had moved to Montana. Used to live in Helena and its a beautiful part of the country. Wait until winter and until then enjoy the 6 weeks of summer. It gets really, really cold up there.

When you have sometime, take a drive to the best steakhouse in Montana. Sir Scotts Oasis, in Manhattan, just a bit West of where you are in Red Lodge.

Joe

Chris, nice blog! Just bookmarked it.

Having a mix of dogs and syncros with angle cut gears, talk about a bastard gearbox. Hope you've finally solved your problems with your 915.

Here's my work (photography) blog,

My brother set me up with a domain name & blog a few years ago so I could keep a diary of my projects and fiascos. I try to update every month or so.

Thanks Chris. I am using high end Canon gear in combination with seamless photo stitching to get large format resolutions.

Thank you! It is quite beautiful here. Hellroaring is next on the list; I handled the Meeteetse Trail yesterday on the GS. Looking at Google Earth, Hellroaring looks like it ends with some incredible views.

Todd, I will check into MT. I like the idea of hosting my own blog, just as you are doing.

Joe, we will have to check that out. Kayla is a bit of a ribeye afficianado, even though I won't come within 20' of red meat and haven't for 25 years. Bozeangelis is pretty crazy these days... I'll bet a ribeye there is pushing $40.

Scott, we miss the SOCG guys, too. Its lonely having the only 911 in town.

Any other blogs?
