This morning I had my coffee black, due to the lack of half’n’half as I read the first chapter of Numbers. Well, technically, I added a little Irish cream and spray whipped cream on top. After a nice shower and proper breakfast of 3 large waffles, 3 eggs, two strips of bacon, and an orange, I got to work.

Having purchased my domain name a few weeks ago, I finally did the work of connecting it to the WordPress website I built over that same period. Well, in fact, the first thing I did was build a site using Podia, but after weeks of work on that, I discovered they had the wrong phone number such that I couldn’t verify the website and connect my domain name to it. It is in fact live on the internet, currently still available for all to see. But I think WordPress even with the learning curve will be a better host in the long run.

I’m about to check now if my site has successfully connected already, or if it will take closer to the 48 hours sited on Domain.com.

The site was fully linked within those few minutes, but our site creator got spooked, worried his beloved webzone could might be still infested with a typos and grammatical failures. He spent the next two days scouring each typed character of every page on the website until finally concluding as he sat by a window in Cots Peak Coffee that what was there was indeed good enough.

He clicked the innocuous little button titled “Launch Site” and promptly took a bathroom break. By the time he was back, the site had already launched to the world-wide web for all to see. Not a few minutes later, the first new viewer, an old friend of his became the first of those fortunate few to have the benefit to pouring over the product of his labor, with its six carefully crafted pages, and one–now two–blog entries.

It’s not just every day an achievement like this happens. Anyway, this post is primarily to test out what it looks like with multiple blog posts visible. Better ones are to come.
