I added some information today to the About Me page.

I’m working on a project now for which I would like to be able to easily post my work status at a central location for interested parties to see. I just signed up for Twitter and created a Twitter Badge to put on an HTML page on a shared directory. I’m planning to use it to post updates via laptops and my Motorola Q phone. I’ll be able to post those messages by logging on to the Twitter website, or by sending IM’s or SMS messages.

I’m building a whole personal website to go along with this blog. As a framework I’m using the Mollio CSS/HTML Templates. I’ve never done anything with CSS before (aside from tweaking blogger templates), and I wanted to do some hands-on work with it, so I picked this to give me a headstart. It’s easy to work with and I like the clean, professional look it gives.

I’ve set up WordPress today as a blog that will be about me and my experiences running an Internet Business and as a Financial Consultant. In addition to the blog, the EdKaiser.com site will include general information about me and information regarding my availability for contract services. The site is hosted along with another of my sites on HostMonster, which I’ve been using for several months and been quite happy with so far. Today I was able to do use the .htaccess file to create a bit of extra separation between the two sites. The default setup seems to be that the main domain is in the root directory, while additional domains have to be assigned to subdomains or subdirectories. That means that you get more than one URL pointing to the same page. For example you could have :

• www.domainone.com/coolpage.htm and www.domaintwo.com/coolpage.html pointing to the same page
• or www.domainone.com/domaintwo/coolerpage.htm and www.domaintwo.com/coolerpage.html pointing to the same page

But I was able to fix that by combining this from HostMonsters helpdesk (makes domainone use a subdirectory) with a simple redirect line for the second domain.
