I think if we base predictions on what people are talking about now, this is the year of Danica. And rightly so after watching her strong 6th place run in the ARCA crashfest 200 yesterday. It was her first stock car race ever, she got spun, and ended the race with a very strong run with the ARCA boys. She ran top ten most of the race, got spun out, and when the end was near started moving to the front. I think she has answered all of the critics on if she could handle the heavy stock cars. She can, and will continue to, on what I believe will end up being the shortest stock car career before getting a top Sprint Cup ride. No cup owner will turn her down as she is an instant marketing machine with probably an endless batch of sponsors.
Well when I initially wrote the original Twitter Thursday blog I was thinking I was going to write every week. That didn’t happen but I thought I would give an update. That was 10 months ago and it is amazing how much twitter and the way I use it has changed. I pretty much read twitter several times a day in short bursts.
I have become what I would say “familiar” with my 725 twerps that I follow. I really cannot even fathom how I could keep up with more than that. I am really close to hitting a saturation point I think. For example, if there is a NASCAR press conference at the track, there is 6 of the 25 reporters there are racing to tell us all the same exact quote at the same exact time. Like a rubber stamp. That is when I start thinking, I don’t need to follow every NASCAR reporter on the planet do I? One of these guys would have gotten the information to me right? Then I think how I would lose those clever tweets of the others if I did do that.

The easy way is to just download each and every file to a hard drive. The better way is to create a local server, basically a working, offline, copy of the site. I understand this can be a powerful blogging tool as it allows you an offline playground to test new plugins, themes, etc, before you decide to publish out there for real.
So I am going to try this at some point this year. If anyone reading this has done this before, met me know as I have many questions. Like this poor sap who couldn’t even find any help on it. I just know that is going to be me if I try.
