Tom finally talked me into moving my site over to wordpress.com’s servers. So, here it is, new and not really improved. I’ve got a new theme and figured out a half-assed way keep the same header picture as the old site.
Anyway, thanks to Tom for making all of the changes while I was out of town and not giving me some Hello Kitty-like theme.
bloggingbaby.com is a really cool website about raising kids and I hit their site every once in a while. They also have a Flickr group that I post pictures of CJ to occasionally. Well sir, they’ve (for the second time) chosen one of my pictures for their picture of the day. I didn’t blog about it the first time, you know, because modesty is my middle name, but thought I’d share this time.
See, it’s not just me who thinks that CJ is adorable!
Also, Tom’s son Lane has also been featured as one of their pictures of the day, and I’m very excited to have been able to one-up him again! 
I’ve been swamped with the whole “getting back to work after vacation” think and haven’t had any time to update this thing since I got back.
I’ll be writing up some posts about my trips to Mt. Shasta and Seattle for Bumbershoot later, I just wanted to type something here so I had a post from within the last few weeks.
Baaaaa!
OK, now that I’ve got that out of the way… I’ve been using Google Analytics for a couple of days now and am, so far, very happy with what I’m getting for the low, low price of free. Tom turned me on to a cool little plugin for my WordPress blog called Google Analyticator which requires that you just type in your Google Analytics user ID into a field and it does the rest automagically. Very slick and painless, just the way I like it.
If you’re interested in setting up Google Analytics (formerly known as Urchin Reports) all you need is a Google account (GMail or whatever) to get signed up and started with getting stats for your site. Don’t have a GMail account? Leave a comment requesting one and I’ll shoot you an invite, just leave your email address in the comment field.
I’ve updated the theme for the site to K2 (just like Tom already did; I am a sheep) with a Blue-K2 scheme. I’m going to be tweaking a bit of the CSS stuff to make it more to my likings, but that’s another job for another day.
What do you think? Do you like this look or do you think that I should go back to the older version? Personally, even without the planned tweaks, I really like this look and the slider on the top of the page is pretty kick-ass!
Thanks to Tom, this site is now living on a Linux-based server, where WordPress is happiest. We’ve made a few little modifications, nothing glaringly obvious, but modifications nonetheless.
Thanks again Tom!
Looks like my site (and Lance’s) was down for a few hours or so today due to a MySQL error on the server hosting them. Stupid Lanlogic, bunch of no-talent hacks!
All’s well now though folks, now back to our regularly scheduled programming…
Happy husband, proud daddy, fanboy and geek, mostly in that order. I try to subscribe to Wheaton's Law: Don't be a dick!
I enjoy technology, books, comics and role playing games and am conversant in most nerdy aspects in life. Please, don't get me started on Star Wars, I'll keep talking until we're both blue in the face...
