I decided to set up a blog so my friends could keep track of what's going on with me and my car prep. Nothing super exciting but you can check it out if you want.

I should be making updates about my new codriver tomorrow.

hey pretty cool! I've been thinking of doing the same thing to keep everyone up to date on how the bike is and whatnot. Great layout too!

Do you have to register to post comments?

**diablesse** · #4 07-29-2008, 10:40 PM

Thanks guys.
Justin, I used wordpress. It was super simple to do.

Brent, I think you don't have to register...either way, I think you figured it out

Thanks for the comment.

I'll have to check that out when I get home. I've got Dreamweaver or iWeb. Dreamweaver will let you do anything but you have to know how to ask it, and iWeb is a little too user friendly...

Wordpress comes with a WZYWYG editor (or however you spell it) and tons of cool templates. You only need to edit the code if you want o do something extra super fancy.

Ya I got it up and running in no time! www.RallyDuc.com/wordpress

Now I just need to figure out how to make www.RallyDuc.com be the main page....

**diablesse** · #8 07-30-2008, 05:40 PM

Just get rid of the wordpress folder. Have all the files in your main httpdocs folder.

I likey your widgets! I might have to steal some of them.

I'll have to link your blog to mine.

Ares5000 · #9 07-30-2008, 06:57 PM

all better! Thanks for the help! needed all the files in the root folder as well as a wordpress folder...

You can send text messages to Twitter to update and send messages to everyone following you and with the Flickr badge you can send camera phone pics straight to the site

I might have to step into the 21st century and try this. I think the Nissan guys would be interested in keeping tabs on the Rally this year.

ha! you're falling behind.
Now Alex has one too!

Ares5000 · #13 08-01-2008, 06:32 PM

I forgot all about the Lawn mower in my blog!!!

Ares5000 · #15 08-01-2008, 07:01 PM

you should ride that over!!!

BamBam · #16 08-03-2008, 01:03 AM

Alright ALicia, you need to set me up with something so I can keep the rabid GT-R and Nissan fans at bay...

Hit me up sometime tomorrow.

Ares5000 · #17 08-03-2008, 02:13 AM

WordPress is stupid easy to set-up and configure to your tastes. it's also really easy to host with goDaddy too...

**diablesse** · #18 08-03-2008, 09:36 AM

Brent...no problem.
I'll set you up like I helped Alex.

We will just host you here and drive more traffic to aka

**diablesse** · #19 08-03-2008, 10:30 AM

omg...I just realized. Wordpress developers designed a crazy iphone interface for the blogs. It's really easy to use and you can take pictures and insert them directly from the camera. Looks like Tiffany an I will be able to do real time updates from the car!

Ares5000 · #20 08-03-2008, 12:26 PM

really? i havent seen that one yet! i was going to use the Flickr cell phone camera uploads and have them auto update the page.

Farva · #21 08-03-2008, 05:16 PM

realtime updates would be pretty sweet for those of us that cant go but still follow this kick ass event, good luck this year.

**diablesse** · #22 08-03-2008, 06:36 PM

Thanks Farva!
we now have the Ducatti blog, the Turbo NSX blog, the brothers racing, the GTR and the girl team blog (and counting?). You guys should have no trouble following along in real time. POst comments and we'll try to answer too.
