Up and Running (For Now)

by Tine on October 31, 2008

Finally gotten most of the site running on WordPress now. Granted, it’s a huge change from Blogger. I don’t really care for this theme, but it’ll have to do for now as I continue to explore WordPress further. I spent so much time working on the previous theme; it’s heartbreaking to have to let it go and move on to something totally new. Still, these are greener pastures, and I’m looking forward to better usability of the site.

I’m currently on the look out for a cleaner theme. Any suggestions on any great WordPress themes out there?

Will be back with beauty posts on Monday. It’s me and the computer this weekend. We’ve become such good friends ;)

Enjoy hunting down a theme you like. That’s part of the fun on WP :) Can’t really rec any coz we all have different needs and likes – just go for one you like and tweak the hell out of it! haha… the plus point about you being on WP is that is a heck of a lot easier now to leave comments! LOL… Have a good weekend Tine!

It depends on what you want. There are a ridiculous amount of choices to choose from. I recommend deciding on a few criterias and finding something as close to what you want so you can mod it from there and understand how to go about the themes.

The next step of course is taking what you learned and rebuilding from scratch. But that comes in time.

You know where to find me if you get stuck. :)

Prettybeautiful:
Oh no, you’ve got the right house. Just newly renovated ;)

Yeah me too. Found a sleek theme which I’m going to modify. I can’t wait!

Paris:
Haha, that is so true. Commenting now should be easier for y’all. I’ve always preferred Wordpress’ way of commenting. Blogger’s finally caught up too, with embedded commenting in the post.

Edrei:
You bet I’m going to find you when I’m stuck. But yeah, there is a crazy amount of free Wordpress themes around. I’m totally spoilt for choice!

Connie:
Yeah, it wasn’t working for a while. My posts weren’t showing up on my Google Reader either. I checked your blogroll on your site; it’s working now, thank goodness. On the bright side, with Wordpress, your RSS reader should pick up any latest posts very quickly :)

I actually like the wordpress layout better. It’s cleaner and easier to organize your blog. I’m working on switching over to wordpress as well.
