What’s New With The Blog
October 7th, 2008
Alright, I’m starting to kind of get this whole WordPress jazz, it’s an overstatement and as I type it I’m almost certain something unbeknownst to me is crashing but that’s alright. It looks good from this end and that’s all the matters right now, I’ll work on the rest later.
I’ve discovered the plugins, these at least I understand as a web designer of sorts. Up in the top corner I’ve added a nice little RSS subscription thingy as I’ve recently found out that most of you actually would use it- that’s kind of cool. :) I also added a thing so those of you with OpenIDs (ie: blogger accounts, WordPress.com, livejournal, and such) can leave verified comments. If any of you out there are using, or have used, WordPress and would like to suggest something that would make your reading easier please don’t hesitate to tell me.
Still unsure about this whole move, worried that I’ll lose a lot of you but either way I’m going to keep writing. It’s not like I can just stop- trust me on that. I live with the hope that each time I write, each time I crack open my soul and let you see inside I might be helping someone. Letting another person know they’re not alone or providing inspiration to those who could use it. Not sure if I’m doing that.
Oh, and I’m adding a small play list in the corner of the blog- an idea unknowingly inspired by Jo of the Road Less Traveled, you can find her link in my blog roll as I lack some post linking capabilities at the moment, or I’ve gone temporarily silly and just can’t remember what order I’m supposed to do what in.
good luck with the site. i’ve gotta say –for me, at least– that wherever you went to write/blog i would follow, so long as i was shown the crumbs. :-D
another aside… i might pick your (and a couple of other bloggers i know) brains regarding site hosting, writing and designing etc. i’ve been paying for a couple of sites for a while now, but haven’t done anything with one, and have only ever used an internal template thingy for the other, and i’m thinking i might look to do more with at least one of them. if i do, i shall come a-picking… ;-)
Lolz, that’s good to know. :D I’d miss your comments if you didn’t, that’s for sure.
For hosting I personally recommend HostMonster.com . They’re very affordable, helpful, and they give you so, so, sooo much for the little you pay. Very highly rated and just this night I crashed something (somehow) and they were very patient with my ranting and helped me fix it. If you need help with anything feel free to ask, web work is my 24 hour hobby though if it’s WordPress code I can figure it out but it takes me a little bit (some of this stuff is a bit silly compared to most open source).
Yes, please come a picking and I hope you find what you need. I know sometimes it takes awhile to figure out what to do with a site but once an idea comes… well, as a fellow writer you know the rest of that thought. ;) Peace peace for now and I look forward to seeing your ideas come to fruition.
