Standing at the Starting Line

I have a blank page and a working install. WordPress, on a shared host. The files are mine, the database is mine, the domain is mine. The first post should be written by now.

It isn’t. I’ve been picking fonts.

I struggled with what the first post should be. Prolific. Grand in nature. Broad in scope. I would spend another hour on themes, colors, the header layout – everything had to be perfect before I could write a single sentence. I struggled some more.

Then I realized it’s like walking into a room full of people. You don’t open with a manifesto. You introduce yourself.

So: hello. This is the first post. It is also the proof that I made it past the font picker.
