I think site registration is now working… We put together a friendly/welcoming site, invited a bunch of people… and nobody registered. Then we started getting emails from friends… “it won’t let me register!”

After tearing out a few more of my dwindling collection of hairs, I think site registration is now working for everyone. Had to create a plugin to fix it; tech details below!

For now, we’ve enabled comments even if you can’t register. Please tell us…

  • Is registration working for you?
  • Does the blog site look ok?
  • Is anything hard to navigate?
  • Do the private and/or public RSS feeds work?

Thanks!

Circle of friendsWe’re not “rules” sort of people, but experience says it’s best if we say a few words before we set out on this journey together.

There are some things you should know about our ICTA team, and about this blog. Someday we’ll take time to describe these in more detail, but right now we’d like to just list them as some of our initial assumptions:

  • This is a safe place to grow together. Mistakes are forgiven, people change and develop their perspectives. Comments (and most blog posts) are not indexed for posterity in Google or Archive.org. That’s why you have to log in to comment, and RSS feeds are private.

Journey TogetherHi. Pete here, with Cecilia contributing too.

I feel a bit awkward, inviting you on a hike with us. No, there’s nothing wrong with the hike itself. A great trip actually, not too hard, not too easy. And there’s a lot of beauty to see along the way. One of the benefits of hiking trails is they can take you to places your car or even a mountain bike can never go.

And the company is good too. Great people, real life stories, nuggets to share that can help make sense of life, the universe and everything (to use a Douglas Adams phrase.) I’m hoping you’ll join in so we can hear your story too.

So why am I feeling awkward about inviting you? The rest of the story »
