I hate first posts

First posts are terrible, if you’ve never written one, I suggest you try. The problem with first blog posts, is that they are never actually about what your blog is about. This blog for instance, it’s about what I’m doing with the Pierce College website, advancements in web technologies, things I find interesting, etc. But this post will be about none of that, except telling you what my next blog posts are going to be about. It’s truly amazing the worthlessness of these first posts, but we all inevitably feel we cannot just jump right in and start off without some sort of introduction, it just not natural. That being the case, you’ll read this, which has nothing to do with anything I will blog about later, and hopefully decide not to write my blog off the list of things to check, and will come back once I’ve posted something of (what at least I think) will be valid and interesting material.

Oh, and as typical with all first blog posts, here’s a few tidbits about me, which again, aren’t relevant to anything:

Spelling is not my strong suit, I’ll do my best to write things in Word first, but no guarantees
I’m not very good at keeping up a blogs, but I do plan to do better with this one – Outlook reminders will be my key to at least mediocre success
I find a lot of value in what others say, but not so much in what I say, but I will not let that disway me from posting (provided I remember to set the Outlook reminders)
I like parenthesis, semicolons, and hyphens, but likely don’t use them correctly, so you’ll have to deal with that
Oh, and code snippets, I might post them, and you can immediately ignore them if you’ve no idea what I’m talking about

And with that, I’m off.
