Hello world!

Hello World!

This is my 1st post on my new blog.  🙂  I am loving WordPress and my new logo!

Jud Kite, Killer Kite Productions, is responsible for my logo (well the logo – Jud’s design, my personality – inspiration) –Thanks Jud!!

I found out that WordPress is an Open Source Project and well I think that is pretty outstanding!  Check out WordPress and Open Source to find out more information. Also WordPress just looks really cool and there isn’t a whole lot one has to do to have a really great looking blog. I wanted to use WordPress but until now just didn’t have the time to get it all in place.

My friends and family were wanting me to blog more about things other than Ubuntu and my Just Me, Amber blog really turned into an all about Ubuntu Blog 🙂 (ok I really enjoy Ubuntu so that’s cool to me but not everyone wants to read about Ubuntu  – go figure right?) But seriously, there is more to me than Ubuntu!

I also had to question people a few times as to what the purpose of Ubuntu Planet was because on more than one occasion people told me a post to the planet had nothing to do with Ubuntu.  Here’s what the Planet Ubuntu site and wiki had to say about what the planet is for:

“Planet Ubuntu is a window into the world, work and lives of Ubuntu developers and contributors.” ~Planet Ubuntu Site

So I found myself not writing about everything I wanted too.  Yeah, I know I didn’t have to tag it that way, but I didn’t really want to worry over every post.  Now I’m not going to worry about it – Life is just way to short for worry. I’m just going to combine my posts in one spot and go with the flow. While most of my posts will probably still be some relation to Ubuntu there are others than won’t be.

In addition, I have wanted to set up www.akgraner.com for a while so this is my first step in that direction.

With all that said, I have also learned how to hack up some of the .php and html code to get my blog to look the way I wanted it to look. (Most people don’t have to do that, but then again – I am me!) So I have been learning a lot in the process of getting this blog set up and I absolutely love to learn!

Well time to get started and add some content!
