Blog Marco

In the tradition of programming, this post is entitled "hello, world"

Wikipedia has some very good insights into the historical background of this phrase.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_world

When learning any program language (as I have done when I first touched C programming), you learen this:

main( ) {
printf("Hello, World!");
}

And upon compilation the program, in the MS-DOS prompt, just spits out "Hello, world!"

Exciting Stuff.

And after one point five (1.5) hours of installation of this blog which includes all the brute force troubleshooting of trying to make the blog work, plus another two (2) hours trying to figure out how it works and installing additional modules and finally another two (2) hours to get it customised to my settings - that is after a lot of trial and error.

"What does this do?" Click.

"Oh, okay, thats what is does." Delete.

"What about this?" Click.

"Great! Thats exactly what I was looking for..."

So after about 5.5 hours here we have it. The birth of my first ever blog.

So after three (3) years of the Photos2View.com domain and nine (9) years on the internet, I've actually got my first blog now.
