Former Coach of Colo-Colo, Marcelo Pablo Barticciotto

“A player who makes the team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself for the group for the good of the group, that’s teamwork.”

In sport, it isn’t very often that an outsider enters a club, brings about epic success, falls in love with the club, leaves and then comes back to retire there.

This is how I did it by the way.

1. Decide on a url address that you would like to have and register that name with a domain host. This will cost money.

2. You then have to purchase hosting space for that domain name, this can be done with the same organisation where the domain was registered or another organisation that appeals to you. Make sure your hosting contract includes access to a MySQL database.

3. You can download blog software for free from various sites.

4. Upload the software to the server where your website sits.

5. Familiarise yourself with the software and then start blogging.

There are easier and cheaper ways of creating a blog but this way you get to keep the website address that you choose and customising the blog is less limited. One day if you would like something more complete, you can delete the blog and put a fully functional website in its place.

Good luck.

Continental Parsley

I was cooking some mostaccioli pasta yesterday and needed to prepare a red meaty sauce. The cornerstore had no basil left so for a moment I was concerned about the outcome.

What I did have at home was both coriander and continental parsley to green the sauce up a bit. In the end I chopped up some flat leaf parsley and used my usual selection of spices consisting of oregano, pepper and salt.

I was amazed by the result! Read the rest of this entry »

Cerro Concepcion, Valparaiso

Here we are.

My first post. I have been stalling for so long and waiting for this blog to be better prepared but the wait is over. I have decided that this blog will improve over time and the more I use it. On this page I hope to upload comments and opinions on a range of issues that will be categorised. For now I am content with at least starting and having something for others to read.

For now, enjoy this humble beginning and watch this space.
