well, it isn ‘t always miserable. but sometimes it is, and since i currently in need of not one but two oral surgeries, let’s just say i’m not not miserable, okay?
i don’t want this blog to be about comics. i don’t want it to be about writing. or james kochalka. or any of the other subjects i have blogged about in the past or am currently blogging about. just sort of, me and where i’m at now and what the hell is going on. all in lower case, because i figure it will save me time, although maybe not because i keep making my first-person “i” upper-case.
another reason i want to give this a shot, is that i have never gotten comfortable with wordpress, and in fact had one disastrous experience with it about four years ago, when we tried to convert comic book galaxy to wordpress and let’s just say it didn’t work out, mostly because of my own lack of knowledge and fear of destroying a half-decade worth of archives.

I’ve been fiddling around with WordPress, myself…it’s probably a bad sign when even the easy-to-use online WP template generators are confusing to me. But I need to give up the Blogger, sooner or later.
And good luck with the oral surgery thing…I’ve been putting off the wisdom teeth for too long, so I know how you feel!

Thanks, Mike! I appreciate it.

My TU blog is in WordPress. And initially, it aggravated the heck out of me be cause I’d cut and paste stuff from e-mails and it’d pick up the font, color, bold codes from the source.
On the other hand, I’ve RTFM and I still can’t figure out if thee’s an EASY way to do a continuation of a story in Blogger 9they used terms like paste in your template and back it up in case you screw it up) , whereas WP has a simple command:
And WP doesn’t cut off URLs in the comment section like Blogger does.
If I were starting today, I’d probably do WP. In fact, I started a WP bog months ago, but it lies abandoned like a TV with a blown tube.
My wife’s having jaw surgery; her teeth are too plentiful for the lower part of her mouth. 3-6 week recovery. Good luck with your oral sojourn.

“Oral sojourn” sounds much more romantic and pleasant than “oral surgery.” I think that’s what I’ll call it from now on, Roger.
