Hi Claire. As a new-media-rave-crew-open-source-warrior, I think that whatever you do in the New Year, you should have a blog on which you can post your thoughts and opinions, record your progress in the worlds of Web 2.0 and, soon, Web 3.0 and provide your own personal platform for the wonderful world of Claire-Frances M.T-A. Lennon.

I’ve set this blog up in good-old Word Press, with which you are already familiar. I’ve chosen one of the many themes but the look and feel of the blog can be changed at any time. That’s something that Tommy and I can advise on but also something you can begin to explore as you do more and more in the new media world. I’ve hosted it with on a new hosting service I’ve set up for the Inner Ear site. I’m happy to host it here indefinitely or you can move it to your own server in the future if you like. And I registered the domain www.RunawayDreamer.com, which is also the name of the blog. I thought that would be a fitting title! You can login to the admin section with the username claire and your usual password (which you can change later).

I hope you like your new blog and find it useful. I look forward to reading your posts in the future!Lots of love and Merry Christmas,Dougal(P.S. You can delete this post when you start blogging. But it won’t self destruct!)
