Hi All!

Just wanted some feedback on my new blog.
I was using blogger, but was not happy about it being hosted by them.
Not that I had any problems, I just like control.

Click here to see the OLD blog.
and compare it to the
NEW blog.

Feedback please.

btw - the posts in the new blog were ported over from blogger, so the titles are all numerical.

also, pay attention to the NEW blog header... pretty neat I think.

I like the new one. The ninja photo switch in the header is slick. How did you do that? I am going to do something similar on our website. I love having the blog be a part of your site. It is supposed to help out alot with Search engine optimization, because the site is updated very frequently, and alot of the times it is updated by your site visitors posting comments about something that you have posted.

Is there any reason that you chose word press, over an of the others? Just curious. I haven't done much research on the different types?

Thanks.

Thanks Timmy,

This is a free template! (cool huh!?)
You can get it here: intense 1.0

What's nice is it is totally widget friendly.
I chose wordpress based on recommendations here on OSP - and so far I am happy!

Looks great, Johnny!

Want to tackle mine next?

oh wow I reaaaaaally like the new blog! Great work on this johnny!!!

Sure, but I would rather you go through Kaitlin!
She can totally customize your blog.

(I'm cheap and a control freak)
So I dowloaded the template, found the header images and changed those.
Found the font color and changed that... and that's about it.

I wanted an easily editable template, and one that used widgets and this one fit the bill.

Like I said - if you want custom - go with Kaitlin.




Thanks Tim!

I really like it too - it's much more upscale looking and matches my site more.

I'm sure Kaitlin would do a knockout job!

This is something I've had on my to do list for a while now. While I dislike coding (or tweaking code), it's something I *can* do, I've just procrastinated on to no end.



It does look awesome though! Maybe this was the kick I needed to work on mine.

I like it Johnny Nice template.

...now back to those custom ones I'm working on. I feel like such a slacker now

Gorgeous! Very pretty & classy indeed (and I posted a comment to start you off). I might follow in your footsteps because Blogger drives me NUTS

Thanks Kaitlin!

I will be using you though for The Mosaic Group blog!
I just need to figure out a few things first.

Get those custom ones done!

I allowed your comment - stalker!

Yeah, Spidey is pretty cool.
In fact, I was thinking of learning pakour just so I can be like him!

Like the new look...very classy.

Bentley

One done, three to go Progress. You inspired my Johnny. (Actually, I have a lot of time on Tuesdays, so maybe it was just a coincidence).

I really like it Johnny...nice job.

Love it!

Are you going to use the JMPA on your cards now too? I remember you were thinking about that.

Wow, it looks really smooth... like espresso over ice-cream. nice job

Thanks Chad!

BTW - did you get my pm regarding monitor calibration?




Thanks!

I AM going to use || JMPA || for now... until I can hire a really talented design firm to brand me 100%.

This is better (IMO) than what I had before - and as Bentley and others have said, it does look classy. ANd that is what I'm shooting for.

I agree, Johnny, very classy. I love how the header changes! So cool.

Now you just have to keep feeding that blog of yours cuz I'll be checking in! (Got a new Kaitlin-ified blog coming soon too! Can't wait for the unveiling! Kaitlin ROCKS!)

Thanks Jules! Yeah, that header thing is way cool.
Got lucky on that one.

That's one of my goals of the year - BLOG and e-newsletters.
I really want to focus on my current clients even more than I ever have.

I'm excited to see what Kaitlin has for you!
She totally ROCKS - I'm going to have her customize my e-bible study blog; The Mosaic Group blog/site and a couple of other projects I have in mind.

Kaitlin, I'll keep you busy!
