For all who are interested, I’ve posted an article titled “Creating PaymentsViews.com” that walks through the steps I followed to get this new PaymentsViews.com blog “on the air”.
We’re using WordPress, Media Temple (hosting) and the excellent Thesis theme by Chris Pearson to drive Payments Views.
We’ll be talking more about blogging and other web technologies at our upcoming Workshop on Web 2.0 Technologies for Financial Services being held March 19, 2009 – Santa Clara, California. Registration is open.
Thanks also to our good friend Dave Birch – who earlier today posted the first ever comment on Payments Views!
