How to use "however"?

"We were supposed to go to the dance last night, however, it was cancelled because of lack of interest." This is INCORRECT.

A semicolon, rather than a comma, should be used to link these two complete sentences:
* "We were supposed to go to the dance last night; however, it was cancelled because of lack of interest." This is CORRECT.

It should be noted that there ARE situations in which you can use a comma instead of a semi-colon:
* "The match at Wimbledon, however, continued despite the bad weather." This is CORRECT.

There is only one complete sentence in this example. It is not a compound sentence.

Is it possible instead of writing "because of lack of interest" could we rather write "due to lack of interest"? What do you think? There is a redundancy of the word "OF".

Maybe I don't understand the site, but if the "about me" is about you, and the blog relates to grammar there is a huge disconnect. Opportunity would sound much better than chance. The profile should state 'dedicated to' and not 'dedicated for' but the whole sentence is unreadable. The next sentence lacks a subject and a verb. "IT background person who loves human interest." is not a sentence - again lacks a subject and a verb. Have one and the only one wife and two children lacks a subject and you should probably strike the word 'the'.
