On June 23, 2007 Technically Easy came to life. I had been contemplating starting a blog for months before that day, and finally took the plunge by starting Technically Easy as a free Blogger blog. Just over a year later I moved to a self-hosted WordPress blog, mainly because I like the total control of all aspects of my blog that WordPress provides.
The original goal of Technically Easy was a place where I could write down any issues that I encountered while using a computer and include a solution to the issues. Over the years the blog goal of the blog has changed to discuss technology, in general, but I still like to write problem-solving and how-to posts from time to time.
Milestones
A lot has changed in the past five years since I have been blogging, especially in the technology world. Technically Easy has also evolved from a free Blogger blog to a self-hosted WordPress blog.
