Hello world!

Welcome to WordPress!! Lorrea (the bff) is finally done!

Check it out…

(spins around)…

How does the new site look? Is it me?

Yes… in 18 months I have gone through 3 blog designs. CR-AAA-ZZY! But in the past 18 months I have personally been through a lot of transitions myself.

I LOVVE blogger. It has been so good to me but there were somethings that were driving my OCD-ness bonkers! My bff recognized this and since she is the WordPress expert for HBBD she decided a move was necessary.

I know you all are dying to know what this looked like so this is us….

See there I am with my blogger sign. Blogger is easy to use, its free, its easy to customize, its connected to all my Google-ness (yep, just made that one up!). Okay… so that gigantic cloud of categories drives me crazy and a list is worse but Blogger and I are like PBJ… its kinda messy but its still good.

See the happy smiley pointing at WordPress like its the best thing since sliced bread… that would be Lorrea. Funny how IRL I am the one with the lipstick and she is usually missing it but I will digress on the cuteness of her smiley.

She is pointing out that with WordPress you have more options to customize, more features, it looks more professional, you can create a weblog (a blog and a website in one), and all this other techy-stuff that I tuned out and stopped listening as her eyes started to glaze over. She may have even started drooling at this point but I wasn’t paying attention.

She said the words that I knew were coming “not the free site the self-hosted one. That is what we need for your blog.” By we… she means me. When I say we… I mean her. Funny how that works. Anywho, she had an idea, she had a plan, she was off, and I was… hmmm… where was I?

Its okay… we have plans this summer to go through her teaching stuff to see if there is anything I can use for my classroom. She just doesn’t know it yet. See what I mean about that tricky we??

And so here we are… I am told this is my final design. I get no more options to change or tweak. Its perfect. Don’t touch it. Well unless I am going to post something or she is off at scouts and needs a quick code change and sends me directions by text. Then I have to stop pretending I don’t understanding her wonky-tech talk and follow directions!

So…
