I spent some more time learning about Wordpress on Lynda.com.  I was learning about self hosted sites.  I probably would need to upgrade my computer before I did any kind of self-hosting for Wordpress.

I also read some of It's Your Biz on my Kindle.  It is about starting a small business.

Mostly I took some time to relax.

 During the Middle Ages, paper and parchment were expensive, and many people took advantage of less permanent forms of written communication. One side of an ivory tablet was coated with wax; then a message was incised in the wax with a stylus (which looks like a large pin) and protected by an ivory lid. The little box would be sent to the recipient, who smoothed the wax and responded. The sliding cover depicts three ladies in the town, looking over its walls at two embracing couples seen to the left. The bottom of the box shows the same town at greater distance, a tent with two more lovers, a hawking expedition, and a hermit reading outside his rustic cell. Several writing boxes are known from the same, otherwise unidentified workshop. Made by Atelier of the Boxes.

I am slowly putting together a Wordpress blog and taking the Lynda.com class on how to do it.  So far it has been eye opening.  http://www.enigmaticbooks.wordpress.com

Right now, a lot of people are using Wordpress.  There is even an extension of Wordpress called Buddypress which turns it into a full social network.  http://www.buddypress.com

I spent some time this morning learning how Wordpress works in comparison to Blogger on Lynda.com.  My impression is that it is a very different platform with many more features.  It will take me some time to understand it better.

I also spent some time relaxing and reading today.  Mostly the news and similar material.
