On Shanebellinger.com, I've written two blogging tutorials. One tutorial was The installation of WordPress using Cpanel, and the other was What's a blog, and why do we blog. In that one I named a few reasons why people blogged, and I talked a bit about the different blogging platforms, and different tools you could use to blog. I also gave out links to good webhosting plans for blogs.

I'm going to be focusing on blogging probably for the next few days. Hopefully it will help out some people, and attract more readers to my site.

You should take a look.

I just want to do a quick post here today. I want to introduce you to my new website: www.bluesummerskies.net. It's going to be a bit of a personal blog, and a tutorial and web design blog. It's going to be powered by Movable Type, because I will probably be creating more than one blog on the domain.

I'm currently uploading MT to the server. It takes a long time. I think it's almost done, though.

That's it! Be sure to visit my new site!!!

Update: I've replaced MT with WordPress. Put in my old WordPress blog that was an attempt to start a design site back in 2005. I've revamped it, and I will be using that.

I've been doing horrible at posting to this blog. I'm going to try really hard to keep it updated, even if it's just going to be small little posts, or Links Collection Posts. I've been good at updating Shanebellinger.com, and I also have written quite a bit at BlueSummerSkies.

I really want to get some photos posted here, but I have not had the chance to go around and post photos. I'm going to do that soon!

This is a personal weblog. It's weird having two. My other site was supposed to be a personal blog. This site was intended to be a Photoblog, and I also host a travel blog, and a test site on this domain. Since I don't have time to take photos right now, I've also been using this as a personal blog, but I write my stuff on shanebellinger.com, and there is nothing left for me to talk about. That's why this site is not being updated too often. I WILL TRY HARDER!!

That's about it! I will keep this updated!!!

Movable Type just launched MT 4.0 Beta. It has a whole new inteface design, and loads of new features. My most favourite features are the new WYSIWYG editor, and a new Page feature. You can make as many static pages as you want, just like writing a post. You no longer have to manually make a whole bunch of different templates to be pages- like I did on this site.

I like the new MT a lot, and I am considering changing my other blog, currently being powered by WordPress to Movable Type. I am just waiting for information from my hosting provider before I do that. I am going to upgrade this site eventually too.

I love the new MT, it has everything that I am looking for. With the new features, I can not only use it as a blog tool, but as a full website CMS too.
