It’s not my first blog post—not by a long shot. I’ve been blogging on and off since 2004, at least.
This site will have a blog and oh so much more, hopefully.
I grabbed the domain name michaelgoad.com quite o long while back. I guess I had some idea of using it as a showplace for my photography—or some such thing.
But while that never came to fruition, I’ve kept the domain name, just in case I might want to use it someday only to find that someone else had grabbed it.
My name isn’t all that common—try doing a search for Daniel Smith or John Jones—though Michael is reasonably common, there is only one Goad in 31,102 in the United States. Still, I’ve run into a couple of other Mike Goads.
Given that michaelgoad.net and michaelgoad.org are both available, hanging on to my dot com domain name isn’t that big a deal.
This post gets the site up and running without that lingering Hello World blog post that so many would-be bloggers never get past.
Looking forward to checking your blog in the future.
I’ve been blogging for a long time and have a lot of material that I can consolidate here.
