So a few months ago I was chatting with someone I worked with years ago (nearly decades at this point) at The Sport Shoe and he joked about starting a group on Facebook.  I thought about it for a second and figured why not, it might actually be interesting to see how it progresses.  Well it was slow to start and then suddenly spiked a few weeks ago - now to 43 members.

The Sport Shoe was pretty big in its prime, a force here in Atlanta with stores covering Atlanta.  They opened a few big box style stores and ultimately ran out of steam and closed after more than 20 years.

Just another example of how these new communities are allowing folks to get back in touch.

OK, so this new version of Wordpress (Wordpress 2.7) is excellent.  The new interface is more refined and it is easier to create and manage your blog.  And the price, well it is still free so no complaints there.

I am just starting to really dig through the new version to uncover all the new niceties, but the interface is clean and I can now easily get to the most common tasks in less clicks.

Oh and I won’t have to update it manually moving forward, now you can update from within Wordpress itself.
