A New Blog, #1 - This Time Around…
Greetings and Welcome!
Needless-to-say, this will be a quick and fast 1st blog. I have to put something here, right? The name I chose for the overall blog, that is… “Write With” didn’t take a huge analysis or a lot of thought to create. Most of my thoughts and ideas lately involve either pen collecting, ink, paper and writing. With that in mind and with me needing a good place to put reviews, I looked into installing WordPress here in a sub-directory where I can control the “look and feel.”
The “Write With” reference suggests it can be thought of in more than one way. It can/could be “Write With” Stephen as along side, or it can be used more like I “Write With” fountain pens. Versatility and a very broad interpretation was important to me. A “Bureau of Pens” was a close second and refers to a dresser or chest of drawers I use for storing ink, paper stock, rocker blotters and above all, pens.
Though you can usually count on me for some long-winded diatribe, I must get back to putting the final touches and tweaking this site to ensure all the different pages (not much now) are displaying properly. I’m beginning to like WordPress with this install here especially since you can actually go into the code and edit the PHP and html, etc… to alter how it does something or utilize the default settings to just use it as it is. Pretty kewl in my book. My previous blog was in Serendipity, which I still am fond of. With it too, you could go in and edit the code. You need to know which file does what though and it isn’t user intuitive at all. This is…
Well, welcome to the site. It is my intention to put up some details in the following days concerning fountain pens, inks, paper and maybe some other related ephemera. I should also be adding blogs off & on as the Spirit moves me or urges get so bad I have to post one. I will also be using some of the space here for future reviews I might do or post on FPN (Fountain Pen Network) a great bunch of people that share my great passion with fountain pens, and other fine writing instruments, etc…
So Glad You Stopped By!
