Microsoft released a new tool called Windows Live Writer that aims to make blogging easy. I’m testing it with this post. It supports many of the blog software packages (I use Moveable Type) and their own hosted service called Windows Live Spaces. Two of the barriers to a good blog is writing often (ahem) and having a system setup so you can jot off posts quickly and easily. We’ll see if this new tool helps me write more.
Flickr is a web service that allows you to setup a personal site to post pictures. It’s free, although you can subscribe to get additional features. We’ve posted a bunch of pictures so check it out. It would be fun if some friends and family also setup Flickr pages so we could use some of the aditional features of “contacts.” Let us know if you do.

I’ve made numerous updates to DeToffol.com. First, a new graphic and layout for the front page. I’ve added picture gallery software which will enable me to easily upload batches of photos and keep them organized. Plus, it gives visitors some cool tools like printing on Shutterfly.com and viewing slideshows. Let me know what you think.
This is my weblog, also known as a “blog” for short. I’m using a free version of MovableType blogging software. You can still get to my old blog entries from 2004 and 2003.
