Welcome!

by @ngie on June 19, 2008

Today is my second Sweet Sixteen Birthday! Yay! Just 32 years ago my parents welcomed into the world their first born child. They gave me my name, Angie. Not Angela, or Angelica, or Angelina. Just Angie. It is a happy name.

And now you are helping me to welcome to the world wide web a new born weblog. My dear husband gave me a name, a domain name, and I am thrilled! It is a happy day.

Take some time a poke around the site. You can sign up to receive my posts in your inbox or click the feed link if you use a feeder reader (feed also available for comments). You can add your name to my link list of fellow blogger friends on the page labeled ‘rides’. And don’t forget to check out the interactive F.A.Q. page called ‘Bolivia’.

Thanks for hopping in!

WOW ! ! ! This is coolio!
You get the domain name for your b-day and it is packed the same day!
Love you ,baby. But you are getting older too fast for me. I was 21 when you were born. And I still think of myself that way! (weird, I know). How did you get to be this age, I wonder? Anyway…
Have an especially blessed day!!! I love you so…

Hey Ang!!! What a cool birthday present…and such an AWESOME blog! Much cooler than Xanga, but probably much more difficult to put together!

Hope you have a day that’s as cool as your new blog!!

Big hugs!

For some reason when I add you to my Google reader I am subscribed to your family’s blog We Are Family! Weird….very weird.

I’ll try to figure that one out later!

Seedsower – Thank you so much! You comment means alot to me.

Thumbuddy – Thank you so much. So glad to be here. :-)

Cousin Mandy – I know, I have been waiting so long too. ;-)

Mom – I have had this site for over a month. I was tweaking and building it. It was not until a couple days before my b-day that DaRonn purchased the domain and switched it from a WordPress address to my own address. And… I know, I don’t feel like a thirty something. I LOVE YOU!!! :-)

Birgit – I am glad that you like it. Thanks so much!

Carin – Thank you. You are a doll!

Libby – Thanks. Yes, it is a bit more difficult; but oh so worth it. :-) And so weird about the family blog. hm…

Katrina – Thank you. So when are you going to start your own blog?

Annie – I had completely forgotten about the crankiness, you are more than forgiven amiga. Thank you!

Sarah – Thank you girl!

GREAT!! I usually always come in late, so I just assumed. Glad I assumed incorrectly. Love the new site. Very nice. So iis it a one-time fee or do you have to pay monthly for something like this.

Christy – Glad you like it. :-) DaRonn got me the one year package. They have up to 10 year packages, and I have friends who pay a monthly fee.

Now – the WordPress site itself is free (the design, style, pages, ad free and whatnot). What I (hubby) paid for was to have the .wordpress part knocked off of the address line.

Christy – the service we use is GoDaddy.com for our domains.
