Yahoo Small Business Blogging

When we moved to Yahoo hosting at work, I had hoped that the WordPress blogging would be a real service offered. No-one in customer support knows anything about it, of course. There is no-one in charge of updating the WordPress installations. Dreamhost and Bluehost both have one-click updates to the WordPress installation.

Yes, there is plenty to blog on today. Politics, catching up with some Jehovah’s Witnesses in the news, activist links… I spent much of yesterday proofreading my son’s elementary school yearbook. Today, it was just too gorgeous not to play and be happy. Since I didn’t have to go to work (at my part-time job), I’ve been playing hooky.
