From January 1st, 2008 I will be sharing my thoughts at http://www.haroldkip.net/.

For the first few weeks it will be just a blog as I'm still building my website, but please tell me what you think by dropping me a line, but I would really appreciate it if you would comment on my writings.

Sweet Harold,

  Welcome to the website business, looking forward to syndicating you blog, with your permission of course . Looks like you are using Wordpress, great program by the way. Take a look at drupal before you commit, they are up and coming and they may give you a few more options then wordpress. But Drupal is a tad less user friendly.

  Since you are going with a Blog for your site look into setting up Technorati tags and RSS feeds this will help you will exposure. Just some suggestions, good luck [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Thanks for your suggestions I will definitely look into Technocrati

The Blog is BlogEngine.NET as I was looking for an ASP blog. I am running the site of of IIS6 on my old PC running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005. It litterally is running in a closet down the hall. I'm a big Microsoft fan so I really needed something that was running on the .NET platform while easy to understand and maintain. I've researched a few of them but I found BlogEngine.NET fits my needs the best at this time. I'm also intrigued by Community Server and DotNetNuke but that is a little far away for me now.

ATM I am building a website in XHTML and CSS but it's taking some time to get it working properly not only in IE7 but also in Firefox, Safari, Opera and Netscape ...

On the site I'd like to share my thoughts on Flight Simulator (of course) but also on Windows and Web Development and as I am also interested in personal and professional development I will eventually share my views on that too.

Now I've already told you more than I initially wanted to say in a short reply. So stay tuned ...

BTW: thanks for your e-mail

Cool XHTML and CSS can be tricky, Im sure you are aware of validators that are available on the web. Once you get your markup validated 100%  you will be OK

Good work Harold. Lets just hope you don't face the stresses of maintaining a website.
