My husband Jeremy set me up with my own domain name for Christmas, and got me started with the switch-over from a fully supported, customer-friendly blog at wordpress.com, to a not-at-all-supported, but way more customizeable self-hosted blog using the free software from wordpress.org. It’s been quite an interesting few weeks, realizing just how little I know about the ol’ world wide interweb thingamajiggy (”just what do they mean by “burn” a “feed” honey?”).
But after weeks of tweaking, looking up html tags, fiddling with images, and generally trying really hard to be a nerd, I’ve finally come up with a new look I can feel good about attaching my name to. There’s a long list of additional fixes and edits and improvements I want to make the new site, but it’s functional, it’s prettier, I like it better, and I hope you do too.
