Just getting things going here.  I’ve switched from the linux option to the windows option and then went to DasBlog based on Scott Hanselman’s use of it.  The goal is to have:

• a home page that provides links to my web-presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Amazon, etc
• a blog site based on DasBlog
• a gallery for sharing photos with people that don’t want to join facebook

So stay tuned…

PS, I am using Windows Live Writer to try this post…lets see how that works…
