CTB

Hi everyone, just testing this thing out!

I have created my personal blog, named CTB (Creative Technology Blog), which is now online and available at the following address: www.creativetechnologyblog.com - It is using a Wordpress backend.

If anyone is interested in obtaining a top-level domain name, such as a '.com/.net/.org' for their blog, then please do not hesitate to contact me. It is roughly $9.99 per year (through GoDaddy). There are also '.info' extensions which are currently available for only $1.99 per year. I will be more than happy to help you with the registration and setup process.

See you all tomorrow!
