Entering the world of blogging
Okay... so I installed the demo version of Movable Type on our main Linux server. The install went pretty smoothly, although I did have to look up a few things. For example, I wasn't sure whether I had the MySQL database running on the system or not. Turns out it was there, but the server wasn't running. Then the usual "Google to the Rescue!" in order to find how to start SQL, how to add users to SQL, how to give them proper privileges, and so on. Nothing is ever entirely trivial, but within an hour or so I had remotely installed Movable Type and configured it on the pencomputing.com Linux server.
What am I going to use it for? Initially just as a test to see how Movable Type works and how it can be used, accessed, customized and configured. After that I may figure out if I want dedicated blogs for some of the topics I am interested in, or perhaps none at all. Candidates for blog activity are my work with mobile technology and digital cameras, my work with automotive ECUs and superchargers, or perhaps some of my personal interests, though I doubt I'll pursue the latter.
