[wdvltalk-social] Just an update on my Wordpress thinking - further update

[joseph]

I'm testing on the desktop at present. The domain is jcrharris.com, but 
currently it has just the host note of its existence. While the content 
for about three months is ready, and my ideas of what I want are fairly 
clear, my attempts with Boozurk make it clear I'll have to start simple! 
I'm a bit diverted, or have been, and not checked back to atalahualpa 
(that looks wrong spelling but it must wait till tomorrow now). I did a 
bit of work on it last year so memory should get me to it quickly - 
otherwise I'll go to classic just to get things moving. Now I'm fairly 
clear on how to get the template I want there is little to really  hold 
me back.

But I'll certainly appreciate any comments when I've got it online; 
perhaps before going public.
