a shiny new home for my blog!

I took the plunge. I switched my blog from Blogger to WordPress, and full-on hosted WordPress, at that. Got myself a spiffy grown-up theme called Thesis, and even wrote some custom CSS and PHP. If you don’t blog, you probably don’t know what this means, or care. If you DO blog, congratulate me! It was actually fairly painless, after the few nerve wracking minutes when nothing worked. Now that it’s done, I’m sure I’ll run into the odd hiccup here and there. Change is hard. If you notice anything funny, please drop me a line and let me know.

What does this mean for you, oh reader of this blog? Probably very little. Things look different, I suppose. Hopefully better. Some of the tools and toys I can use now might make it easier and/or more fun for you to interact with this blog, me, and others who read it. If you read the blog via RSS, hopefully you won’t even notice the change. Again, if you DO notice anything odd, lemme know.

One thing to note, if you were following my blog through Google Friend Connect, you’ll need subscribe to my feed or connect in some other way. If you CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT GOOGLE FRIEND CONNECT!, let me know in the comments and I’ll see about adding it back.

Also, if you were previously on my blogroll, you’ll notice it’s gone. I, uh, kinda lost it. I’m not sure how that happened, but I’m gonna have to start building it from scratch again. Truth is I’ve been pretty behind on blog reading lately, so it’s probably a good time to revisit that list.

This is a time of change. Of new beginnings. Of growing up. At least, for my blog.
