Successfully Installed Movable Type on this webpage. It’s a whole lot better than Blogger. Some of the features:

• You can edit the date stamps of posts. So if you go somewhere and keep a travel log with you, you can post your entries when you get back and they will appear to have the correct dates on them.
• Titles on each post. So I’ll have to think of a catchy slogan for each entry.
• Easily Imported from Blogger. MT made a special import utility and gave special instructions on how to do this. Saves alot of time.
• Multiple Users; Multiple Blogs. This would be GREAT for Newspaper Websites.

I’m glad I took the time to install it. It was well worth the effort.
At times I feel like I have to ask permission for everything. Case in point – this ski trip. I had to pull some strings in order to ask some friends to come with us. I didn’t realized this was a “closed” ski trip. We are in a disturbing trend if we start closing off church activities to outsiders. Will we soon have to ask permission to invite visitors to our church services?
In any case I am going up to Portland tomorrow to share some information about this ski trip. I really guess I should have kept my mouth shut when it came to this trip. There’s always the possiblity that I could wear out my welcome up there. Also folks might find it rude that I’m asking them to pay $100+ dollars for this ski trip – a price that could be reduced drastically by having the ski trip at a different time and not spending the night. I’ve skied for as little as $30 before.
