New blog joy

My blog has finally been switched over to Wordpress, which I hope will be a better blog program.
My biggest complaint about the old program, called B2Evolution, is that it wouldn’t allow me to embed YouTube vidoes and rejected half of the Web links I tried to use. Plus it made it almost impossible for people to leave comments. Most troubling is that I’ve never seen any other blog on the Internet use that program, which was troubling.
Michael Abernethy, our Homegrown Snob, had the same complaints. He’s already switched over and has promptly gone nuts, embedding YouTube videos of Norwegian zydeco music performed in a wind tunnel, the little-known Joy Division side project, Theosophy, and a strange clip of Morrisey simply weeping for 25 minutes.
WordPress is home to most of our other Times-News bloggers, including Joe Jurney, Roselee Papandrea, Alex Kreitman, and Barry Smith.
So please consider leaving a comment below, so I’ll know that all my hits aren’t my Mom just hitting page refresh because she’s worried about my feelings.

I would never post zydeco. I’d post all that other stuff if I could find it, but never ever ever zydeco.
