Cleaning up the BASALTED instance
Today, I’m doing some cleanup work after yesterday’s installation and configuration of WordPress, theme modifications, testing content posting, branding, etc.
It is a good opportunity to step back and make sure I’m clear about how I want to use this blog. As noted on the About page, I’m having some crisis of conscience when it comes to my main blog, which is about amateur radio. I’m considering my options, and this blog is about exploring one of those options.
In my day job, I’m also writing testimony for a bill to be heard tomorrow. My association’s staff are busy synchronizing data between two websites, one entirely new and the other a rebuild and paring down of a much larger predecessor site.
I have been interested in the natural world since a very early age. My first career as a mining and exploration geologist took me around the world. In 1992, I began to focus on the conservation of natural resources. I enjoy sailing, working with WordPress and Linux, and amateur radio. It probably goes without saying that I also like to travel!
