So it has been a month and a bit that I have purchased this domain and paid for the web hosting. I haven’t spent as much time on it as I have wished. My web hosting company actually provides a lot of tools (if tools is the right word to use) for web development. They provide MySQL, PHP and Perl. Their control panel also makes it idiot proof to install popular internet applications such as WordPress, wiki, etc. I hadn’t expected this many features, especially since I only paid 80 bucks for the entire package, which includes a year’s worth of hosting. Perhaps had it been more expensive I would be doing more work on my site, just to get my money’s worth.

Nevertheless, as with all tasks the hardest thing is just to get started. At least at minimum I am now using the blogging software. I’ll try to put in a few hours everyday on the site or just update my blog with the catch of the day.

Welcome to my blog

I like to write. However, I have this small problem of deleting, crushing up or just disposing what I write. Usually because I believe that what I have written is not up to standard. I don’t think there are any standards imposed on blog writing, yet I have this need for perfection. It’s sad really, since I have removed a lot of what I have written. On top of that I also have this feeling of being ashamed for my feelings, which may also contribute to me removing much of what I write.

Nevertheless, here I start another fresh blog. And the first thing I tend to write at the start of every blog/journal I start is, I hope this blog will continue on and that I will enjoy writing in it. I hope I will be able to read back on all the events of my life.
