Hello indeed. It always amazes me how quickly I can get a domain up and running thanks in part to Dreamhost, WordPress and DirectNIC. In this case, it took me literally minutes. It used to take at least 24 hours, and up to a week, before you could access the domain.
Now with that said and done, this will be my other little distraction where I can post up links to articles, photos, and videos of octopods that my daughter and I find online (and with luck, some first hand content).
