Comment on What Poker Can Teach Us! by Jeanne Corcoran

Scott — Always enjoy your blog, and appreciated the link — the “poker” topic was interesting, after having been one of Nevada’s film commissioners headquartered in Las Vegas for a decade. Plus, I have many poker players among my family members and friends. I learned long ago that Poker, like most card games (and perhaps many games of “chance”), builds strategic thinking, risk-taking tolerance, self-reliance on one’s own judgment and intuition, boldness as well as calculated caution, and many other decisive personality traits. Like anything of course, taken to an extreme or letting it consume your reason and rationale leads to disaster. But as a pastime, it’s proven its enduring appeal to a surprisingly broad spectrum of people. My mother went into labor with me at 1:30 AM during a roaring poker game where she was winning and hated to leave the table. My grandmother taught me “penny-ante” poker when I was six. A brilliant screenwriter, John Hill (“Quigley Down Under,” “Little Nikita”, etc) dealt cards at one of my New Year’s Eve parties. Poker can, indeed, teach us quite a few eye-opening lessons. Not least of which perhaps, to quote Kenny Rogers and which applies to life in general), is: you gotta know when to hold ‘em and know when to fold ‘em…

Good news! These days most hosting companies provide the basic needs of hosting a wordpress blog, which are the MySQL database and PHP. So most of it comes down to personal choice as far as all the extra’s go. I tend to stay with bigger hosting companies as they have a staff more likely to answer your questions as well as good backup procedures. I have used http://www.1and1.com as a good starting low cost hosting company, and some of the more robust blogs I work with have moved to http://www.liquideweb.com as their bandwidth and capacity dictated. Things to watch out for as your blog grows in size and popularity are: exceeding bandwidth limitations and server response time growing longer and longer as it gets busier. These are indications that a bump up in server plans is required.

As far as themes go, I like the Thesis Theme. Very flexible and very easy to modify to meet your needs. It’s more a framework then a simple theme.
