Done it!

As an aside, I got a pleasant call from my domain registration provider, 1and1.co.uk . The chap was (I think) quietly impressed with what I had done so far. Coincidentally, he called just as I was figuring out how to apply SSL to my website, offering to help set it up on my behalf (and make a little money for 1and1.co.uk ).
I told him I was quite happy getting to grips with the nitty-gritty of it, and didn’t require nor want any assistance. In fact, the harder it is, the more I’ll learn, I think I said.
I’ll figure out how to enable comments on this blog. Anyone from 1and1.co.uk feel like leaving me a “hiya!”, feel free to do so 😃
I’m rather glad he didn’t look at it yesterday, when it still had its puerile front page.
Installing Owncloud next – I’ve done it before, but on a Raspberry Pi, so this’ll be a little different. After that, a mail server?? I say that with some trepidation. Wish me luck!
