With the new plan came a free domain.  Thus began <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billsamuel.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">BillSamuel.net<\/a>, the new place to put my personal Web files. I realized then that it might be best to have a blog directly on this domain, but I didn&#8217;t get around to actually doing it until now.<\/p>\n<p>HostNexus offers WordPress, one of the most popular blog formats, in its programs repository with simple one-button installation.  So I installed it.  Then I realized it was an old version.  So I upgraded to the current version, which is very easy with the simple 3-step guide provided on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordpress.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress<\/a> site.<\/p>\n<p>So I now have this spiffy new blog.  I hope you will visit it frequently, and feel free to add your comments to my posts. I can&#8217;t promise to post any more regularly than in the past  My old blog will remain available, so if there are any nuggets of wisdom there, they are still available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have had a Bravenet blog for several years, to which I have posted sporadically.
