We’ve been thinking about getting a pooch for quite a while. Before the kids arrived on the scene, our excuse was that we already had four cats. Then cat heaven got two more residents. Then it was that our house was too small for the kind of dog we wanted. Only 667 square feet which is less then idea for the Australian Shepherd. Nope, not what you want for a four-legged friend. But then we bought a new house with lots of space inside and outside, with a fence even. The babies began arriving and we thought, let’s wait until their a little older and ready for the active puppy onslaught of licks, nips, and all around craziness. Last week, we came to the conclusion that they were older and there were no other excuses to contend with.

I’ve been on Twitter for a while now and you could say I’m still experimenting. Maybe I’m hoping the light will suddenly go on and reveal why Twitter is such a great thing. I mean, I like the idea, and I like following outdoor-oriented tweets, but I’m not sure, at least as far as business goes, why its such a big deal. Yes, I know, its about building relationships. But has anyone really developed these relationships into something concrete?
Usually I tweet about interesting stories I come across on the web as well as my own posts that I think are Twitter-worthy. Kristine, over at Outdoor Bloggers Summit, wrote an interesting article on Twitter and linked to another on ProBlogger, both which I thought were worthwhile.
If your on Twitter and know what your doing, I’d be interested in hearing why & how you use Twitter and what types of dividends you’ve earned from using these type of social media tool. Maybe there are others out there who could learn from your answers as well. Come on Twitter experts! Spill the beans!
That said, you can follow my “experimental” tweets at http://www.twitter.com/outdoorblogger!
After settling on using InMotionHosting.com for my web host for my new self-hosted WordPress blog, I have to install WordPress using the Fantastico application included in the cPanel administration interface. Don’t worry, it sounds a lot tougher than it actually is. Referring back to my earlier posts, I want to emphasize that this tutorial is only valid if you have selected a web host that offers the cPanel administration interface which includes the Fantastico application. If you choose to select something other than that, this tutorial won’t help much.
