Hmmm … a new haircut?

By Sister Julie | May 11, 2008

You may have noticed that things around the blog have changed a bit. I’ve made the leap of faith to hosting my own blog using WordPress.org open source software. Basically it means I have more control over my blog all the way down to the coding. My blog has all the same posts, comments, and content that was on my previous blog. Also, the web address is exactly the same as the old. And, if you have links to particular posts or pages, those are all in tact. What is different is the look and feel as well as a lot of “behind the scenes” things that help me do a better job of blogging and creating and responding to your ideas, questions, thoughts, etc.

For you the reader, the transition should be seamless … but if you notice any oddities, I’d be glad to know and figure out how to fix them. So here’s a quick look at the old and the new:

OLD

NEW

I still have a lot of tinkering to do, especially with the look of the new format. But for now, it has everything and over time it will continue to evolve. Any suggestions or feedback along the way is always helpful.

    Awesome. You are blessed with great “techno skills.”

    Best of luck and blessings- always,

    Thanks, David! It’s my inquisitive mind that gets me hacking into code and always trying to see if I can figure something out. I spent at least 10 hours yesterday working on this and it was a blast! I even created my own unique 404 page (it’s the page that you get if you type or click on a link at anunslife.org which results in an error)!

    Hi Sister Julie,

    I like the new look! Very bright and fresh.

    Only had a minor problem in that the pic of your “old” site on May 11 post does not appear for me. I refreshed to see if I could get it to download, but no luck.

    Thanks once again for writing this blog. It is a breath of fresh air!

    Cool! And thanks for that … I had some issues this morning and must have accidentally deleted it while editing it. User error! I’ve fixed it now. :) thanks

    Yesterday’s greens were a bit too green - today’s are just right!
