Lets build a weblog! We'll make it our best friend!
Welcome to my brand new WebLog. My name is Andrew Serff and I'm a Colorado native. I've been thinking of starting up a blog of some sort for a while, so now I'm finally getting around to it. I wanted a place where I can post random comments, cool links/web pages I find, intresting news I hear, etc...etc...So feel free to comment, check back often, and enjoy!!
Please read the extended text to see some comments I've added about the weblog.
I wanted to explain a few things about this website for those of you who know nothing about it. Mainly, this is a blog (which is somewhat like a journal) for my thoughts and other things I want to spread the word about.
Currently, I have it so only registered users can comment on the posts that I make. To register, you need to go to a website called TypeKey and get an identity set up on there. By setting up an account there, you do not need a login unique to just this site. It would work at any other blog around the world too (in theroy). If enough people complain, I may just make it so that anyone can post comments, not just registered users. So let me know if you feel strongly one way or another.
Another interesting thing about weblogs/blogs is that most of them implement an RSS feed. This means that you can basically subscribe to the RSS feed and when new news/articles are posted, you will get notified. You don't have to check back everyday. There are many advantages to using RSS feeds as they are a huge time saver. They can pull all your favorite news sites into one local place for you to look at and you don't even have to check the webpages...it all happens for you.
There is a great RSS viewer here.
I think that is all I wanted to explain for now. If you have other question/comments, feel free to ask.
