The sky is falling… and the bubble is coming…
Sorry to disappoint.
I picked up a story today about a “Bubble Blogger” in San Fransisco. I actually enjoyed the article. Here is the link. I have read a few of these bubble blogs in the last couple of years. Some are quite educated, and others are just rants. I actually

I have taken a step. In a few weeks, I’ll be making a big change in my real estate career. I’m not ready to announce it yet, but one of the parts is an all new website. Because of the HUGE amount of content I have created do to blogging… and blogging here, I have a LOT of content to put into a site. So, I decided to jump into the world of CMS.

This is a serious work in progress.
Three days ago, I didn’t know anything about Joomla. I got past the installation, and started populating with content. The first thing on the agenda is getting all of the articles and pertinent blog posts migrated (copied) to the new site as well as put meta tags and descriptions on them.

So, if you want to play along, feel free to drop in. If you are on in the evening, you might even see the site change around you while you are there. Buttons will pop up on menus. Themes will change. Content will show up… and then move.
It certainly isn’t “live” for public consumption, but for those that like watching races just to see wrecks… this might be fun… and it will last for weeks.

Both have something underlying that I think is very important. Congress needs to
