Blogging and Bollwitt.com
January 5th, 2009
Believe it or not, we get a lot of grief for being such big fans of blogging. The thing is, blogging is more of a method than it is a way of shameless self indulgence.
Thinking beyond what you can actually publish in terms of online content, blogging is a powerful mechanism and tool that anyone can use to create brilliant pieces of information to be shared with a community that is will to see, hear, and listen.
With this concept in mind, the hope is to bring Bollwitt.com into an online community, aiming it to be mostly for our family as well as a resource of sharing news and events that bring us all together or by some way we can share with one another.
This site is using WordPress, an open source blogging platform that is relatively easy to use while being very powerful. You can type up lots of content, easily embed and share links to other websites, upload photos and videos to share, and help spread family news about who is doing what, where, when, and however you want to say it. That’s up to you because it’s your voice.

Testing out galleries with pictures from my work in Vancouver
September 2nd, 2008
Let’s hope this works! Just to try out the photo upload feature in WordPress, I thought I would use a group of photos that I took from our FM transmitter site up on Mount Seymour.
All of the TV and radio stations in Vancouver have their transmitters on this mountain on three different locations. This is also the same mountain where Rebecca’s brother and brother-in-law work at the ski hill just a little ways up from our location. I don’t get up to this location very often, but that’s ok. If I’m up there a lot, that means we have big projects underway or there are lots of problems to be fixed.
In the summer, the view is great. During the winter, snow can pile high beyond the top of my head. It’s quite the place.
