The New & Improved Me
September 8, 2008
Sure… I’ve been saying I’d do it for a long time. But it took me longer than I expected.
Still, it’s kind of worth it when you can finally look at something and say “ahhh… now that looks much better!”
What? No, I’m not talking about my weight loss again - although I’m happy to be on track with that still, slow and steady progress. I’m talking about finally getting my site moved to a hosted server (thanks Lunarpages.com - you rock!) and finally getting a new coat of paint on it (thanks ithemes.com and Cory Miller - you rock too!) Yes, I’ll be doing affilliate stuff with both of them just as soon as I can. Because honestly? I couldn’t ask for better providers. But I haven’t even looked at advertising or links yet. Too busy with the other stuff.
Granted, I tend to forget how much work I’m really looking at when I do something like this. I mean, the WordPress magic made it incredibly easier to export and import from one place to the next… but inevitably, there’s a thousand and one little things that need tweaking even with all of that magic. There was content to be created (can you say “new graphics”?) and plenty of CSS adjustments. Although I decided early on that while I’ll might change the dominant color to my favorite green at some point, today was not the day to play “adjust all of the colors” with the built in premium theme I’d just installed. Besides, I kind of like the contrast.
Now - there will be lots of other little improvements over the upcoming weeks - but I’ve got other priorities setting off alarms right now - like vlogs for Walmart and posts for other folks I’ve promised - and Blog World Expo is less than 2 weeks away!!
So I hope you’ll bear with me as I putter about here. If you see something that needs fixing? Don’t hesitate to email me or comment below! Thanks! See ya tomorrow!
(oh rats… I just noted I have to play with the myBlogLog stuff… sigh… that’s going to be fun.)
