ThinkDataMining Blog

I wanted to stand up a new blog site host it myself. I love the functionality of Google's Blogger site -- but I wanted to be able to tweak the apperance more and see behind the scenes how the blog works.

After reviewing the applications used by some of the bloggers I'm following I decided to go with a WordPress blog site.  I'll be posting more thoughts and content there and so far I'm happy with the decision.  Please visit http://www.thinkdatamining.com/wordpress for more.  There is also a SharePoint wiki and other BI - SharePoint content available on the ThinkDataMining.com site!
