Twitter

Well I am trying Twitter to see how it works.
I have resisted it so far, but the ease it provides to publish quick thoughts and rambles makes it easy to use.

I am still going back and forth trying to decide if Twitter or Pownce is better, but for now, it is Twitter. Who knows, I might use both.

I have installed Twitter Tools by Alex King and will be using that. It looks the most functional and provides the best services.

Let me know what you think and let me know if you prefer Twitter or Pownce and why.

Post by Email working in WordPress

The post by email appears to be working. It is nice to finally have this option to post by email.
I travel a lot and have a good chance to think when I am on the plane. I can develop a thought on my Blackberry and it will post when I land.

I am glad that this is finally working.

A Year Old

Well this is the anniversary of my first post of this blog, Mile High Soapbox.
It is fun and I really enjoy doing this. It gives me a way to write about things I enjoy and sometimes vent about things that are making me mad.

As we move into the second year of this blog, I am going to be trying to focus and write more and write better.

I hope you will keep visiting and reading and let me know what you think. Your comments are always appreciated, a good dialog is always good.

WordPress 2.3

I have upgraded to WordPress 2.3 and it was as easy as pie.
I have had no problems and it is working great. I am greatly interested in how this is going to work, especially tagging.

I tried to use some of the plugins that incorporated tagging and they never quite worked.

So far I am enjoying WordPress 2.3.

Updated The Site Look

I just needed a change, a big change.
I was tired of the design of the old site. I was using a Cutline 3 column theme and is was starting to wear-me-down. Also it was a good time since WordPress is getting ready to release 2.3.

I am now using a theme called Paalam. It is a two column theme and works with WordPress widgets. So far I am really happy with it. I have adjusted the colors a little to better match the photo I am using, but otherwise I have not changed anything. I will probably need to update the code to work with the tags coming in WordPress 2.3.

The photo is the same one I have used since I started the blog and is a photo of the peaks above Breckenridge, Colorado. You can ask for anything prettier than that.

Let me know what you think of the look.
