WordPress is Alive!
I finally have the wordpress site up and running. Took alot of design tweeking in Photoshop and CSS editing.
Overall, I’m pleased with the design. The color scheme is ok, but it’s going to stay that way for a while unless some new design inspiration comes my way.
I was going to modifiy an existing theme, but it was overcomplicated and had way too much CSS in it that I just wasn’t comfortable working with it and since I was new to theming in WordPress, I decided to start from scratch. I looked at several tutorials and essentially created a skeleton site and then I designed around it putting the WordPress elements where they should go.
I’m not too crazy about the background, but that’s minor. I’m going to install Gallery2 for any new photos that I upload. The old gallery has been around for years and I don’t intend on transferring photos from it to Gallery2.
I’m glad that importing my old blog entries was trivial. I’ve got entries all the way back to 2001 even though I’ve started blogging before then. Those pages are LONG gone.
Anyway, enjoy!
