This is a quick test post to check that Movable Type has installed correctly on Matthew's server. Hopefully every thing went well and Matt will soon be blogging with the best of them.
He should be sports personality of the decade as far as we're concerned. This blog should give Matt a way to let the rest of the world know just how great he is. Go Matt go... Colin of www.clearlucidity.com
