Last night was the Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival’s Big Air competition. Skiers and snowboarders from around the world compete to see who can do the best tricks while getting the most air. We watched the competition from a club that was sectioned off for the VIPs and media. In addition, there was a separate viewing area for the press so we can get really close to the jumpers.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...
