This is the second test post. Should go to Celebration of Fluff and my new/current workish blog
Woo Hoo, Kent has written a Newsgator plug-in in response to my lazy web request. It allows me to post to any or all of my various blogs (as long as they're different plugins). This is a bonus, since all I was hoping for was to be able to switch between the posting plugins, but lucky you, now I can cross-post
This is a test post. It should go to both http://www.geekswithblogs.n... and http://blogs.gotdotnet.com/

Yes, I could have figured it out, but...
Congratulations to everyone at MSNBC, where they launched a new site redesign last Friday.

You can read the editor's note from Dean Wright here....
This is my first post in my new home here at geekswithblogs.net, thanks to my friend Jeff Julian. My old posts will migrate over to ASP.net, I think, at the end of the month or so, but I don't think I'll be posting there. Geekswithblogs.net seems friendlier and more homey, at least for the likes of me. I've been futzing around with the CSS for days, putting off the inevitable, I think, in leaving GDN. I've also been learning about .text, in addition to CSS -- now I'm ready to see how it looks...
