First it was his and hers Powerbooks. (Kind of. That's another story.) Now its weblogs. My wife Kristen got her own weblog now. There goes the neighborhood.
She is not a techie, but a women's health care nurse practioner that opened her own practice recently. Expect very different content then what I write. (We are no Ben and Mena.) I write software and talk to myself a lot.) Kristen believes in a more low intervention, natural and holistic way of providing care then what it typically. Often we'll be listening to news radio, or watching the new new and she'll exclaim what crap!
(I hear that while she is surfing around also.) My reply for months now has been you should have a weblog so you can write that. Finally hubby came through and set one up on TypePad.
We used TypePad because she was already comfortable witht that system after using it to communciate to patients and activists during the forced closure of Elizabeth Seton Birth Center were she used to work.
It turned out well particularly for my meager design skill. It was also fun to collaborate on its design. (I miss that so.) I tried using the visual template builder which is really great, but in the end I had to convet the templates I built to change 2 parameters in the stylesheet. (argh!) The banner has padding added that the template builder does not let you remove. It also doesn't let you control the page margins that the content frame is butt up against the top of the page. It also does support any type of footer on the pages. Right now we are coping without one, but it would have been nice. I have no doubt that its just a matter of time till these get addressed given SixApart's track record.
So please check out my wife's spiffy new weblog and give her some love (and traffic). It's quite good and she's taking to it like a fish to water. Not that I'm biased or anything.
