This is the kind of techie thing I usually post to my own blog, but I’m adding it here because Andy & I made this video together and you can year us bantering about the dock throughout the video. Thanks, Andy, for being the videographer.

Well, I did it! And it was really pretty easy. Yesterday, I imported the WordPress.org blog smithersgreene.net into WordPress.com. Today, I added the domain smithersgreene.net to this blog so that I can manage the content in WordPress.com instead of in WordPress.org. I find this blogging platform more carefree and easier to manage. So, yay! It worked. And it costs less than $10 a year to host this blog here are WordPress.com.
Take a look around! You might like what you see.

I used one of my smaller blogs as a test run for importing a WordPress.org blog into WordPress.com. It was easy! Now to see how easy or difficult it is to add a domain to a WordPress.com blog. I’m hoping it’s just as easy and we can point our domain, smithersgreene.net, over here so I can manage it with WordPress.com. Seems much easier and better suited to my (our) needs than WordPress.org blog, which requires me to maintain two different installations of WordPress software that I have to update separately. (And even if, as of this month, I can maintain two blogs in one installation with WordPress 3.x, it’s still more complicated than with WordPress.com.)

This little thing slips over my husband’s ear and makes our relationship different from any relationship in the history of the world– up until a decade ago. Okay, not just our relationship, but everyone’s. Just think of it– when else in history could a couple spend their whole commute home from work talking together in separate cars? We can now tell each other about our day, plan our evening, list things to do… sometimes we even discuss how we feel about each other and say anything that was left unsaid the last time we saw each other. By the time we get home after one of these discussions, we’ve moved past all that and are ready to settle into a comfortable evening together. Mobile phone technology and Bluetooth headsets have changed our lives, and I’d say for the better!
I took this photo in response to a monthly theme / challenge in the Gay Photographers (Family-Friendly) group titled "Belonging to Your Beloved." The object is to share a photo of something belonging to your beloved with a brief description of the item’s significance.
