Astroprof’s Page is one year old. My first post was November 1, 2005. It wasn’t much of a post. It went something like “The beginning of a blog,” and I said that I’d be writing about astronomy, being an astronomy professor, and whatever else I felt like. The first few posts were sort of scattered […]

I now have to learn to use this thing, figure out how to attach side bars, etc, etc, etc. But, at least there will be a place for me to blog without dealing with the MSN madness that I had at my old page.
