About Joe

Unknown's avatar
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

    Awesome blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost
    on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go
    for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed ..
    Any ideas? Thanks!

      Thank you for your kind words. I use both Blogger and WordPress as platforms. My WordPress is actually a back-up/mirror blog. There are advantages to both. If you are mainly going to be blogging using a mobile device then WordPress is best in my opinion. However, Blogger has more free features and is very easy to use on a computer. If you’re stuck on content, I merely say be yourself. Blog what you want to and you’ll find like-minded people who will follow you. That’s why I blog, and I have met some wonderful friends through my blog.
