Todo: I need to check whether I’m currently pinging this when I create a post.

I’ve installed the “Gemini”:http://www.atthe404.com/wordpress/ layout for my weblog – I was shocked at how primitive the default layout for WordPress was, but fortunately others with more knowledge (and time) have filled the gap.

So far have only modified the menu background image and the overall background color, but it already looks better.

This blog is really here to help me learn about blogging software and techniques. The content consists of the things I’m doing to get back into backpacking after about a ten year hiatus. I’ll be using lightweight-ultralight principles to lighten my load, without going over to the ultralight camp. And certainly, no “fastpacking”.
