I’ve made the decision not to allow comments on the posts here at WebExDesign.com/Blog. This does not mean that I don’t want to talk to anyone though, really it doesn’t.

Feel free to “talk” to me through the contact form or you can email me by clicking on the email address in the sidebar. If you have a blogging question… I’m here for you. If you have a design, shopping cart, email list, blogroll, doamin name, database, or cpanel question just ask.

The reason for this decision was mainly that this blog is more for informational purposes than anything else. I don’t want to make anyone feel they need to comment on posts that mean nothing to them. I will be posting on some of the websites we’re currently working on and maybe mentioning updates and changes to various software programs. I will also talk about Wordpress, my beloved and preferred choice of all blogging platforms.

While I hope that the posts are interesting to some, I am not living in such a state of denial that I believe this blog will rank among the top blogs in any category. See I am not completely crazy after all!

On September 8th, 2006, Sergeant First-class Merideth Howard died when a car bomber slammed into a Humvee carrying 15 people. Howard, 52, died that Friday while on patrol in Kabul. She is the oldest female soldier killed in action since fighting started in Afghanistan in 2001.

Family and friends of this Waukesha soldier had this to say about Sgt. 1st Class Merideth Howard’s dedication.

Howard’s husband, Hugh Hvolboll, said he and his wife enjoyed traveling the world together to places such as Mexico, Spain and Hawaii. He says she joined the Army Reserves in 1988 and went to Afghanistan in April. She was a member of the 364th Civil Affairs Brigade in support of the Tenth Mountain Division.

Her cousin, Susan Utley, says Howard didn’t expect her unit to be called up. According to the cousin, Howard thought it was a bad idea for her unit to go and she turned out to be right.

Howard worked as a firefighter before she began a career as a fire-safety consultant out of their Waukesha home.

Her husband remembers that she had gorgeous blue eyes. He says meeting her was like meeting his soul mate, and that it felt like they’d known each other forever.

Merideth Howard, as an American citizen I am sincerely and forever grateful for your courage and your sacrifice. I want to thank your family for all they have given for the cause of freedom. I will remember you, and I will teach my children to remember you. We are forever in your debt.
