  Welcome to WordPress. This is the first post. Edit or delete it, then
  start blogging!

     Hey guys, an OLD Linux head here, I'm running from home on SuSe
     Linux 8.2 pro on DSL, Apache, mysql+php, Tomcat yadda yadda yadda.
     Think we need to talk. Have a look at my site(s).

     Hey Brian - I dont think your site is the first blog site in
     Ireland! Theres plenty out there already!

     didnt know that Irland had internet in the first place

  this is a test post in the main blog!

  We're well on our way in the move to WordPress! This design was taken
  from Chris Arthur's site and looks much better than the old blue one
  that was here!  Keep an eye out, Ill make some minor modifications to
  it, and I mean minor, I really like this template!

     You mean you are using wordpress right now!! Well to be honst I
     haven seen better design, but I guess content well what get this blog
     rolling if ever.  I use Expression Engine, check it out..

     Thks for the MU-WP. Just waiting for the register.php

Blogs perform an _absolutely_ vital role, in keeping many people's
tendency towards unselective personal monologue from plaguing Usenet:
We should all be grateful.  They have all the societal virtues of
shower-stall karaoke, in that sense.

While an RSS aggregator would indeed make the stop-me-before-I-blog-again
faction happy -- as to reasons why those should not be presented as
ILUG's organisational public presence, I leave that as an exercise for
the reader.
