Early this morning, I moved this web site here (gidblog.com) after running it for a few days at gidhelp.com.

The reason for the test site is because I had to find out if the script that powers this web site, WordPress MU, is really what I assumed it to be — and it is!

The test site also allowed me to figure out a few things about making this site work better. Some of these include additional themes for you (blog owners) to personalise your blog sites, and maybe a couple of custom scripts, aka plugins, to simplify the things you can add to your sidebar.

In a couple of days, I will probably move the site to a new, permanent, domain name.

Now, I have to figure out how to add a plugin, or two…
