Well here we go, first post of the new year. I have  a new look and hopefully soon some more features will come back. Like the rotating side image, and the image gallery in general.

I know that this is not ready just yet, but I wanted to start using it anyway. One of the reasons is that I am using vista 100% now, and with that I am starting using things like Microsoft Live Writer. It lets me publish directly to the blog from a windows application, it gives me things I did not have in place before, such as spell check and the separate pages for each post.

Another reason is the RSS feed is now available. I have been wanting to put one up for a while, this will also remind me to update more often. I think with these two items I should be able to do updates more like two or three times a week.

Also note, not all the features that you see here are going to stay here. There are things like the Rating System, and all that crap on the right, along with Kick It, Dzone It that are going to go as well.

Overall I am planing a few other things for this little home of mine on the web. OH! I also like the Tag blobs on the left, I think those are neat. But then again I am a microsoft whore so it is all good.
