Who is this guy?
John Finger is a 30-something year-old writer from Lancaster, Pa. At his day job he writes about the Philadelphia Phillies and other Philadelphia-based sports for Comcast SportsNet. John writes like he breathes. Sometimes it’s slow and labored, other times it’s quick and short. Mostly, it’s even and uneventful but solid nonetheless.
Educated in Lancaster’s public schools, John’s view of the world is neither realistic nor warped. It’s true.
Away from work he writes fiction as well as about pop culture, politics and technology. He also enjoys marathon running, punk rock, books and movies as well as debunking myths and goofing off.
He will write for food or a cool drink.
John lives with his wife, Ellen, in Lancaster with their two sons, Michael and Theodore.

John, I’m starting my blog (again), as Dreamweaver has been too frustrating to master for the amount of writing I’m anxious to get to, so I’m hoping this software will be simple enough to gracefully let me begin. (I’m a magazine designer, as well as a journalist, but I’m going to postpone the graphic elements of this career move until I can feel comfortable with the basic coding to get going. Anyway, I saw your site as one of WordPress’ fastest growing sites and have been studying it today to see the software’s ins and outs. I was hoping since I’m a struggling 51-year-old svenska flicka and you look and sound friendly you’d do me the favor of letting me ask one piece of advice.
To the left on your blog, the Stories of Note links dead end on my system. Do they work in some platforms? (Might it be that I’m on a Mac OSX, have Firefox and Safari hosts, or have the stories actually been moved by WordPress?)
Thanks for any direction you can give me. I was hesitant to start with WordPress because I read that it didn’t have Permalink for archived stories, which might explain this problem, so if that’s the case, and you know how you’re going to solve it, please refer me to the url describing how, when you find it.
Thanks again, and I love your blog, and your site, especially the pictures of your cute son and the fun at Porjus.

Hey, I went to McCaskey too! Actually, I just graduated this past spring. I’m now a freshman at Penn State and a freelance journalist for the Lancaster New Era. Anyway, I stumbled across your blog while looking for info about Dennis Schmid. So what was he like?

PS. Ian MacKaye is a really cool guy. I interviewed him once…
