Day #1. While I was setting up Google's "Hello" to send a few pictures over the internet (quicker than email), I saw the option to move them to my free Blogger blog site. I have been toying with the idea of setting up a blog on my Grainer.org domain but that costs money and looks a little more involved than what I want for starters. Their package includes 2 web sites and domain names and a blog plus my usual Grainer.org email.
I am thinking of using grainer.org for a web site for the family. It would be similiar to what I have at MyFamily.com but friendlier and with more control of the options. The other domain would be used to set up a web site for my Class of '59. I've been interested in doing that for years! The 3rd element, the blog, would be for casual observations and recipe stuff (a foodie blog) from down here in Mexico; hence the blog name.
Well, rather than starting with all of that, I decided start out with just a blog on Blogger. It's free and I can get a feel of how much time and work are involved. Although I am retired now, I have other things to do and the last thing I want to do is lock myself into a "job". I already feel like I am spending too much time reading 25 subscribed food blogs (Accidental Hedonist -to- Too Many Chefs) plus Woot!, USAToday's "Today in the Sky" of, of course, a little Dave Barry.
So let's see how it goes. I have a lot of whining to do regarding my cooking and shopping efforts down here, to say nothing of the politics, crime, and drivers! Then again, the temperature is 30 degrees cooler than Phoenix!
