An Exercise in Definitions

This is an example of a WordPress page. (LIES!  Lies I tell you!) You could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from.  (I could, but I’m really fucking lazy.)  You can create as many pages like this one or sub-pages as you like and manage all of your content inside of WordPress.  (What part of lazy didn’t you understand?  Fine.  I’ll let Merriam-Webster break it down for you.)
