Well, I’ve finally made the switch to my own space. Let me show you around:
First, you’ll notice my new address. I purchased the domain, ideasandthoughts.org.
Then I set up my site on my reseller account through webserve.ca. Then thanks to Rob Wall, installed WordPress 2.0. [WordPress 2.0] has an absolutely wonderful import tool which brought all my previous work from blogger over in literally one click….beautiful.
I spent a few hours installing themes until I found one that I could customize to my liking. I choose the blue horizon theme. One of the things I wanted to incorporate was the rotating banner that Darcy Norman so elegantly uses. I had installed it on a previous install I did for a client but wanted to include my own photos. So everytime you come you’ll see a different header. All photos are taken by me and I include the details on the bottom left corner. I’m not much of a photographer but love taking photos and playing around with them.
I also wanted a theme that utilizes the page feature. At present, I only have the About page but will add more.
I’ll also slowly recategorize my postings but that will take a while.
Finally I worked on my sidebar rearranging and adding some items.
I think I’ve updated my feed correctly so hopefully you’re finding this without much trouble.
All in all I’m quite happy to be here and I hope you like my new home. Feel free to sniff around and if you have any suggestions or ideas for me, drop me a line.
Pop in anytime. I love the pop in. I’m a big pop in guy.
Gotta love that theme. Thought it looked familiar – although you can hack it a bit more than me as I have to depend on James Famer’s goodwill every time I want to make a change to the theme!!
Something about blue that just works for me too. Great minds think….you can finish the rest.
Looks really good. You might even get me to stop reading you in a feedreader 😉
Welcome to your new home! How long before the sod is laid and the fence is up? 🙂
Since you’re the “master builder” you should be telling me where I get the sod and fence.
