This is both a test post and a celebratory post (if it works). 

Yehi! It worked. What this means is that I now have scripting2.root as an installable tool, just like Radio2 and River2.  

Here's a post with an admittedly ugly URL. 

But it illustrates something that Werner Vogels will probably like, Jeff Barr too. Out of the box this tool likes to create blogs on S3. 

Flip it around, what's becoming clear is that S3 makes storage easier, and that may be enough to make it worth another try for people hosting their own blogging software. We've done that with Radio2 which is a lightweight microblog editor, and now we have the same idea working for the heavy duty professional blogging solution, Scripting2 (the software I use to edit Scripting News, completely rewritten last year).  

If you don't understand what any of this means, stay tuned. This is just a test post.
