The Farmer's Weblog

Step 1 completed.
OK now I have a basic weblog set up it is time to make it look and work the way I want it to. It is time to backup what I have done so far -- Just in Case-- and start customizing. The goals I have are an outline style weblog with navigation by categories and a place to put pictures from AKA frarms.

New Start for Farmer's Weblog
In my quest for a better format for the Farmer's Weblog I got to the point where I had to start over. Since I havn't announced the site yet I hope readers (if there are any yet) will bear with me while I experiment further. Expect to see the look and feel of the site change over the next month or so. I am implementing new tools for radio weblogs as they are being developed so there will be a few rough spots until I get all the parts put together. If you are putting together your own weblog I will try to document the steps I take as I go along. Maybe, I can be of some help to other cutting edge weblogers.. I will post these in the Radio tips category. OK here we go again.
