I like to think of myself as someone who stays relatively close to the front of the tech curve, but it seems I’m in for a bit of an education as I try to drag this little blog o’ mine screaming into the second decade of the 21st century. I started off the post-dinner education by doing a simple search for something like “blog tag best practices” (Yes, I’m well aware I’m that much of a dork). That led me to Technorati and blogmarking, which led me back to WordPress, which led me to linking the blog to Facebook and Twitter, which led me and so on and so forth. This particular post isn’t so much informative or documentary as it is a test to see if I actually configured everything correctly. If you’re seeing this as a result of Facebook or Twitter, I suppose I’m on the right track. I’m not further along on my great quest to manage my tags or make the look and feel of the site more cohesive, but I’m one step closer to success in my other current crusade to making all my social media integrated. I’m apparently still way out in left field somewhere, but with a little self-education, I hope I’m getting closer to at least learning a bit more about the unknown unknowns. It’s hard to believe that once upon a time, blogging was as simple as tossing some words on an e-form and hitting the “publish” button.
