Welcome to the new and improved blog of the Digital Trekker.



Welcome to my new blog! ((I got really sick of Blogger. So I “upgraded” to WordPress.org)) Personally, I am thrilled at the new look and the ease of use and all the new features that have been added. I have spent the last few days working on the development of this site and the migration of the old blog. The only downside of this transition is the loss of the subscriptions I have tallied up over the past couple years of blogging. So please be sure to subscribe with the RSS links and the other options listed on the sidebar. Speaking of the sidebar, in the old blog many of the archives were bad links. You should find all these link now working fine. So, feel free to poke around the past entries.

This new blog has all kinds of fun stuff. If you look at the top of the page you will see many new links that the other blog didn’t have. Then you will see a few other fun tricks like footnotes, ((Isn’t this cool how you can add footnotes to a post?)) and LightBox. LightBox will work with one or a series of images and pop them up on your screen while darkening the rest of the screen. Click on the photo of the Mitchell Kanashkevich bog header in this post for a sample. This gives you are great way to view an image without leaving the site. So have fun, explore and keep coming back for more news and opinions. And don’t forget to update your subscriptions and change any links you have to this blog.

    WordPress is such a delight to use isn’t it. And all those plug-ins. You could have more bells and whistles than… than something with a whole load of bells and whistles.

    It looks good, and glad you have found software that works better for you. I noticed that in Google Reader, where I read my RSS feeds, all I could see was your entry titles, but could not read any of the content. I do not know if that is just some setting you have to change for your RSS feed’s output, but just wanted to let you know from this end of things. Of course, you may already know. Just to help.

    Hey Matt,

    Nice new digs you’ve got there but I like your old picture (of yourself) better. Don’t tell David. He’s so sensitive about these things. :-)

    So that’s why I couldn’t access your blog the other day! It looks great. You’ve inspired me to start my own.

    I can now read the entries (and not just the entry titles) in Google Reader. Whatever you changed, it worked. Excellent.

    Actually, your recent switch to WordPress comes at a time I have been having issues with my blog software, and I have decided (after enjoying the look and layout of yours) to try out WordPress again.
