I think I finally have settled on a script to use for my new site. The old script was spammed way too easily and I haven't even gone live with the site yet. If you know me, you know how much I hate spammers. Hopefully it will help keep them out. I am going to try to do a few posts to test things out and see if the feed is working before the first of the month when I plan to officially get things going, I have a little trip this weekend.

Hopefully I will be able to post about my efforts in maintaining the new blog here and keep the actual Food blog on topic.

I have purchased a URL and I am still getting it set up....
