| "Blog" is short for
"web log". You can find out what a blog is and also the history of
"blogging" by going to this
article on Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog . (A blog "entry" is called a "post".)
My original or "old" blog was going to be a place for me to write "journal" entries and cat stories. I wasn't going to write much "journalism," "political," or "current events" type stuff. (Although, I did occasionally write that sort of "entry".) I called my "old" blog "whatdubhghalldoes," because my cat Dubhghall (pron. Dougall) did and does many amusing things. She is the source of the cat stories. I got the blog space during the time that I was figuring out how to do a "proper" web site. I knew how to build the site, yet initially I couldn't figure out how to get it uploaded. (I was zigging when I should have zagged. Duh!)

I originally got a "free" blog. After a while, I decided to pay for the extra features. Then after having this blog a year or two, I decided it was expensive to be paying Euros for it, so I bought space here in the U.S. I was looking for space to put "podcasts" (home made radio programs) onto. As soon as I bought it, I learned that the space I got didn't allow for "podcasts". I kept forgetting to write to that "new" blog. I had only one or two posts stuck on it. I was mostly writing and adding to this present site. At one point, I figured out how to put my own backgrounds on here. I reasoned that I could do up my own "journal" space on here. Then I wouldn't have to pay for the blog AND pay for this site. I wasn't doing a "proper" blog anyway, so why have a special blog site for the entries. I stopped the "new" blog and here we are in this "journal". These are the posts from the blogs. I am trying to reconstruct them as best I can. I have the text saved, but it isn't always formatted into paragraphs. I have to try and figure out how I had some of these arranged into paragraphs. Don't know if I will be able to put them how I originally had them. The main goal is to make the pages readable. |

December 7, 2004 "Welcome to my blog. A blog is a sort of
online journal. I don’t write to it often enough it seems. I am re-arranging
some things on here. Maybe it will be easier to figure things out this way.
Don’t ask me how it works. I just follow instructions and get what I get. I hope
you enjoy reading this.
On this blog there are also "pictures". They are charts for the radio hobby and
pages with other info. I do not know how to access them from this page.
There are instructions for this blog at the
following address: (This tells you how to view all the posts. It also has a
brief description (index) of some of the early entries on here. I suppose I
could always up date that.)"
