A Pound of Thoughts

As you might have already noticed, I took some liberty this morning with changing a few of the current theme’s colors.  Now I need some honest critique.  Feel free to post your comments regarding the color motif, and please leave any (constructive) criticism you feel is warranted!  I wanna know!  Thank you in advance, and have a great day!

This weekend I plan on starting the development of my own theme.  So if you are a web designer and wish to give me some advice or help out with the theme (I’ll be willing to throw a little cash your way), I will really appreciate it!

Since I received some positive response in my previous post, I have decided to register the domain http://portcitybloggers.com.

I am in the process of building the site; If anyone in the Mobile Area would like to be a contributor please let me know.  I am looking forward to building and developing this site.  I truly believe the Mobile area could benefit from this.

Oh, and I’ve already received a very positive e-mail from a food writer here.  Visit his blog at Azalea City!

I am in a quandary.  There is a project I want to do, but I’m afraid of it falling flat on its nose.  I’m wondering if a community site - like Music City Bloggers - would work for the area in which I live.  Mobile, Alabama, is only a thirty minute drive from my house.  I guess you could say I live in Suburbia Mobile (but in Mississippi).  I am wondering - how many Mobile bloggers are out there?

If you’re out there and would like to be a part of something (not quite) unique, post a comment or e-mail me.  I would really like to know if there’s anyone else out there like me in the Port City…

If you visited last night or early this morning, you may have noticed that this blog was pretty much non-existent.  That’s because I accidentally deleted the MySQL database.   As a result, all my posts, comments, links, blog settings, etc. were gone.

 Well, after doing a little bit of research, I was able to locate a backup and upload the database file.  Now the blog is restored!  (okay, maybe not fully…but mostly!)

 I’m just happy I was able to get my old posts back (and comments!). 

 But I’m curious - have any of you ever done that, or am I the only dunce out there (not that you’re a dunce!)?

I’m here. Come on over and check it out!! I’ve just started using a new blogging platform, and so far I’m really getting into it. Eventually I want this new site to be even more popular than this blog!

So drop by, register, and leave me a comment and suggestions.

I’m uh…tinkering with my blog again.  I changed from Movable Type to Textpattern to Nucleus to Textpattern again to Movable Type again…*SIGH*  Now I’m back with Wordpress.  I just couldn’t find anything that made me as happy as WP.  I just love it.  Plugins and themes are extremely easy to add and modify.  And I believe I’m not alone.  I have been on Wordpress now going on…uh, how long?  8 months?  Before that I used Typepad (which wasn’t too bad). 

 I don’t think I’ll be changing it again anytime soon.

Mr. Kassper over at Making Money Online is holding a contest:  one in which a blogger will receive 50+ links for just linking to his site twice.  2 for 50 - sounds like a great deal to me!

 My favorite post on his site is Improve Alexa Ranking with Alexa Toolbar for Firefox.  Now since I’m a big Firefox user, this really appealed to me.  I advise you to go over and check his site out!  It’s very informative and user-friendly.

So go over there and start gettin’ da “linky love”!

I have been playing with new wordpress themes the past couple of days, and I think I’ve finally settled on one.  It’s called “i3-center”, and I just happen to like the aquamarine background.

 So, what do you think?

I have been visiting Nashville is Talking for the past few months, constantly intrigued by the bloggers there and what they have to say.

Now, some members of the community there have created a new virtual stomping ground, and I must say that I enjoy it just as much as I do NiT!  Go check it out, and prepare to be enlightened!

(Why can’t the MS Gulf Coast come up with something like this?)

Oh yeah, I’ve added them to my blogroll, also.

Michelle Malkin has done some spr - err, “summer cleaning” to her website, which she is dubbing “MM.com version 2.0″.  Heh, heh…so clever!  By the way, Michelle, I really like the new format.  It’s very eye-friendly.  And what a nice picture!

Y’all go on over and take a gander.  Her new design gives me some ideas for my site…Winds of change might be blowing my way, too!  Oh, and happy blog-iversary Michelle!
