Welcome, welcome!

Oct 24th, 2005 by Accidental Thinker

Welcome, welcome, welcome to my brand-spanking-new home on the web! I am so excited to finally unveil my updated blog with the new name and look. And I’m extremely proud of myself that I even figured out how to import all of my data from the old site, including all of your comments. All I can say is that persistence (and quite a few late nights the past couple of weeks) pays off. Make that quite a few VERY late nights. I love tinkering and figuring out new things, and I’m also a perfectionist. Put those two together and you have one blogger who has been just this side of obsessed with getting my new site up and running. Or if you ask my husband, he might claim that I have far overstepped that line, but don’t listen to him (love you, Kent!). Admire my new blog instead!

I think the new feature I’m most excited about is the ability to create categories for my posts. Yay! I’m working on categorizing all the imported posts. That may take a while longer. I may also continue to fine-tune a few things, so please bear with me during this tweaking phase. If anyone notices anything funky or strange, please let me know.

You may also notice that I have finally gotten around to adding a blogroll. Yay! For those of you who have me on your blogrolls or bookmarked or subscribe to a syndication feed, don’t forget to update that information. Links for syndication feeds are in the side bar near the bottom. I’ll leave the old blog up for a while with a link to this location, but I will not be posting there any longer. THIS is the new cool place to be!

And now it’s time to can the design and technical work, and get back to the business of writing (you know, the whole reason I started blogging in the first place). Thanks again for visiting me in my new space!

How ’bout that! I’m the first one to your beautiful new blog! Great job! I like the title, too. Hope you latch on to many new and faithful readers.

And the picture you chose is…well, tell your husband he’s got great taste!

I like the name! It really does seem to ‘fit’ with the things that end up inspiring you to blog!

Wow, I’m impressed. I like the layout, I like the color scheme, and I like the way the information is laid out. Well done. 🙂

Well done. Well done. As a fellow technogeek I know exactly what you are talking about. If I can’t figure out how to fix a particular problem I’m having with a computer/program/database its very likely to keep me awake at night trying to get the answer. Anyways the new site is looking good.

I like that categorizing thing, that’s pretty cool.

Wait a minute. That picture is a younger you, isn’t it.

To answer a question you asked me long ago on my own blog (I didn’t forget, see), that little Valentine story that garnered me a free hair cut was lost a long time ago. It really wasn’t that good anyway.

Good luck on your new blogging, and writing, adventures.

Wow, this is great! I had no idea you were so techno-talented! It looks fabulous!! Thanks for inviting me and I’ll go back and update my link.

Thank you so much to everyone for all the nice compliments. I’m no graphic designer or anything, but I’m pretty pleased with the way things have turned out. Will get back to blogging tomorrow…

PS to Dave… that picture was just taken a few weeks ago, honest!
