The easiest blog in the world

Chris: So Shel comes in to show me her latest shade of nail-polish--or rather, what it looks like when it's actually on her nails, since I was with her when she bought it--while I'm working on my site, and she says, "we should start our own blog, like a 'he-said-she-said' thing."  I said it was a great idea...one that I thought of several years ago, and she didn't think would work.

Shel:  Well, when he thought of it, I really didn't think it would work!  However, the time seems to be right.

Chris: Courtesy of Shel's e-publishing business and my IT maven-ness, we had an IP address free to host it on.  She's a big fan of Blogger and wanted to put it here instead.  Meh, whichever.  Static IPs are $20 a month, I just wanted to maximize the investment.  Anyway, we went about looking for a template which I thought fo' sho' we would have a difference of opinion on.  We didn't.  Holy crap, we totally didn't!!

Shel:  We agreed on a template the first time out. This.Never.Happens. I told you we really like each other that much!  By the way, this particular brand of nail polish sucks!

Chris:  Well, yeah, the shade of the one I picked out was nice, but it basically fell off if you looked at it wrong.

Shel:  I'll just have to find a comparable color in a better brand.  More nail-polish goodness. I win!  It's a shame though, because this color is really pretty.  Dark green with teal iridescent sparklies. Very seasonal.  And it was cheap.

Chris: ANYway, so we set it all up and...um, it would have pretty much scared anyone who didn't know us.  The blog post started writing itself; that is, we were having the very conversation that would become the next blog post, kinda like the comic books in Heroes.  Only, y'know, not psychic.  Except with each other.  Sometimes.

Shel:  Most of the time.

Chris:  It's where the title of the blog came from.

Shel:  And I thought of it.  I'm so proud.

Chris:  Yup.  So we're going to ape Click and Clack's gimmick, only for computers, technology, books, politics (maybe), jobs, people...aaaaaaannd, nail polish!
