I’ve been wanting to reboot my blog for quite some time now (I’m thinking maybe a year…), and I finally got around to starting it last night. The first step was to upgrade to the latest version of Wordpress, update plugins, and do a few template tweaks to make sure everything was working OK. That was a pretty easy and painless process.
Now comes the fun part of updating the the design of my blog. I’m not planning anything too drastic. I want to clear out some of the clutter, update the list of rotating images in the header, tweak the color scheme a bit, and maybe add a few fun elements that integrate with my other online addictions. This part will likely be a slow, ongoing process, so things might look funky or work oddly for a bit. The content will still be there though (all you RSS readers probably won’t notice anything).
Enjoy it! Remodeling your website can be a rewarding experience, and I don’t think anyone will really mind the sawdust while you do it.
Happy New Year!
