More on blogging
Jan 8th, 2008 by brianschettler
I was never really that satisfied with my current website. I designed and created the posting system myself, but it was not very user-friendly and definitely not as advanced as I would have liked to made it. But as is a constant issue in my life, other matters were just more important, namely school. So I never got around to updating the system and there was too much “resistance” for regular updates. Keep in mind that this was before/right around the time of when blogging for the masses came out (like WordPress, etc.). I always wanted to try WordPress, but I didn’t have SQL databases with my web host. I even emailed them and asked to upgrade my website (paying them more money in the process), and they wouldn’t let me do it! So after a while of contemplating switching hosts, I emailed them again and asked one more time, and they upgraded me! I’m glad, because that paltry 50MB of storage was getting slim. I carry around more space on my USB drive in my pocket (and technically I still do because I only have the 500MB package).
As far as where to go from here, I’m not certain. I kind of like the default WordPress theme. I looked at several others but so far none has really tickled my fancy…so perhaps that will change later on, or perhaps it won’t. So far I like WordPress and the neat features it has…so this will be an encouragement to write more!
