This
website is very much a work in
progress… every other foray I’ve had into this has been on formatted, automatic
sites where all you do is enter your content—creating every aspect is pretty

initial efforts on the blog(s), my most immediate reason for getting this

roll-up of what I’m reading each day (when I get to it all, of course… The very first of
anything I did on the web. This is a VERY basic links page—for the longest
time my preferred web-based alternative to bookmarks. Ideally this’ll be
replaced with a links page on this site soon, but MyHQ
was my first, and its beta
version is a pretty good update, although I haven’t done anything with
the content to take advantage of the new capabilities…
