The Beta Bug

WOW!  Three Steph posts in a single day!  Her two complaints with our blog have always been it looked too boyish and posting was too complicated.  Blogger has solved the complicated issue.  You have to forgive me but I was a little skeptical about Steph posting so I didn't want to redo all the colors for nothing.  (That and a blog filled with only posts by me and yet colored in pinks and yellows would just feel strange...)

She looks like she is going to start posting so I went ahead and changed it around.  I am still not entirely satisfied but it works for now.  After showing her the new theme her first question was, "What's the 'beta' thing all about?"

That's simple.  The ladybug is for Kaitlyn and she is still in beta...

I know.  I'm a dork but I thought it was hilarious.

So I have given in...

So after several years of "maintaining" my own home-rolled blog I have called it quits.  I have been sucked into the evil that is pre-packaged blogger.  (Actually this is pretty freaking cool).  Maybe this way Stephanie will actually start to post...  Only time will tell.

To be quite honest, it actually went down like this:

1. Micah decides he really wants to get a twitter feed and a flickr feed on his blog.
2. Micah tries in his spare time over several months to get something of that nature working.
3. Micah logs into blogger in order to show a Baylor faculty member how to maintain a blog.
4. Micah sees twitter and flickr "gadgets" mocking him with their ease of installation.
5. Micah dies a little inside and decides to switch to blogger.
6. Micah then realizes that what died was his pride.  Yeah that's it, pride.
7. Micah realizes he is better for it...

At least that is the story I am sticking too.
