<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><b>Since I have seemed to usurp the Bacon Family’s Digital Domain, I am going to be looking into ways to make MediocriaFirma.com, this Blog and the Facebook page a haven for all things Bacon Family related. No it will not be another bandwagon website pawning all the inane, bacon-themed trinkets that have become so popular. It will focus on the family; The people who make up our genetic gene pool and so proudly bear the name which undoubtedly caused some taunting in the formative school years.</b></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><b>Some of the ideas I have include opening up email addresses (Kevin@mediocriafirma.com), setting up pages where family can look up histories posted by other Bacons, maybe offer Skype service for Bacons to reach out to one another. I’m open to suggestions.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I'm going to try relocating <a href="http://mediocriafirma.com/Mediocria_Firma/Blog/Blog.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">my blog</a> here since the original site was created using iWeb which is OK for getting a basic site started but not so good for even moderately advanced features such as allowing comments in a blog. Hence this page instead.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Um...that was an unreasonably long sentence.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">My apologies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I recently received a couple of emails from visitors to <a href="http://www.mediocriafirma.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">my site</a> which I hadn't realized was even getting visitors at all. Apparently my StatCounter codes were not set up correctly. They appear to be working now and the visitor count was surprisingly high: 28 page loads and 11 unique visitors. Those numbers, and some encouragement from a <a href="http://disembodiedninja.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">good friend</a> have convinced me to give this whole blog/website thing another shot.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I have been tossing around some ideas for re-purposing the <a href="http://www.mediocriafirma.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">website</a> and possibly (eventually) getting more people directly involved in its content and function. We'll see. I'm still in the concept phase and the design part is still a ways off.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The same goes for the design and content of this blog page. I haven't used blogger.com before and haven't poked around all the inner workings to see what widgets/gadgets are available or useful. I'm still not even sure on the color scheme yet. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Please bear with me.</span><br />
