Keeping My Alias Desultory Blog alive

Perhaps someday I’ll opt to move my existing blog, but for now this isjust being used as an “alias” for My Desultory Blog.

Struggling with my WordPress host

This week has been challenging in managing my personal blog on a hosted server. The company I’m paying to manage the website has been struggling with the database and its about to send me shopping for a new host … or managing my own server and attempting to serve from the house. (not a bad idea for a personal blog?)

The other option is to import the data here … a monumental undertaking.

This is a test post from email

Sending a post from Gmail.com to and italic http://RichC.WordPress.com to see if it posts correctly. I’ll include a link to My Desultory Blog and an attached image file.

Keeping up with the “alias” blog

I noticed that the free wifi spot that I occasionally frequent over lunch is restricting connect times to 30 minutes. It is understandable, but will probably change my lunch stop (personally speaking 60 minutes would have been more appropriate).

My primary blog is at myarchive.us, but at some point might want to move over to the WordPress.com platform so will keep it alive.

Need to update My Desultory Blog

I’ve been working with the same install of My Desultory Blog for a few years now and am contemplating an update. In looking at this install, its easier to post a message with a few extras?

Also wanted to see what a second paragraph formats like?

Welcome to “My Alias Desultory Blog”

First post to my new WordPress.com blogsite. I currently have a personal blog called My Desultory Blog but it is managed separately. I’m not sure exactly th purpose of this Alias … yet, but wanted to at least have it to redirect. I may use it to discuss other blogs and as a pointer, perhaps as a reviewer, of them? For now, consider it a secondary location … and in addition to my primarly blog.
