Andrew’s Mac Tips Weblog

To those of you who have been coming to this blog via the Andrew’s Mac Tips website I’d like to thank you for putting up with all the recent changes; first the log was within the site, then it was over on Blogger.com, and now it’s here on Blogsome!

I set up the Blogger version, and then I remembered reading about WordPress and how powerfull it was, and I remembered the beautiful Kubric template, and the fact that it’s free!

I went to the WordPress site and downloaded the package. I tried setting up and SQL database on my server (I have no idea what that means) with no luck. Then I had one of those Duh! moments—Googled the phrase: free wordpress hosting, and here I am.

And I like it here.
