Well, I’ve got a belated Christmas gift for all of you who read this blog.
I’ve gotten rid of b2evolution. Now, I don’t want to be a naysayer for a blog engine that lasted me for so, so long; however, when I came home from 2 days of break and had about 1100 spam messages to rid myself of, I decided it was time for a switch. So, now you should, if you wish, be able to post urls in your comments and link to things and (wonder of all wonders) have those links work!
Now, the big challenge: a new skin for this blog.
If anyone’s in the mood to help me out with this, or has a good idea for a skin please let me know–I’m just not good enough with css to come up with anything really cool/good looking on my own (if you were wondering, Zalm helped out oodles with my last skin.)
Anyway, that’s my big news. Any help with making this place look a tad less boring that you can carve out of your busy schedules would be appreciated.

Brandon?
You doing okay, I hope? Just changing over from B2E to WP?

Yeah, looks like everything is now in order!
As always, I’m happy to hear style sheet suggestions, or cool new plugin thoughts!

Hey Brandon. Talk to Crystal at A Woman Clothed. She designs blog templates and you could ask her about what you could do to reskin yourself.
Happy New Year and welcome back off the spam lists.

I leave home and the internet for just a few days, only to check in and discover that the road home is flooded and you ditched b2evo. This is indeed a crazy new year we’re having.
But Wordpress… w00t!
I won’t be back for a few days, but when I am I’ll be happy to help you fancy this place up a bit, if you haven’t already figured things out by then. Feel free to email me a list of things you’d like to do.
Happy New Year.

Whew…I was really *hoping* the break wasn’t permanent. You’ll enjoy WordPress; I know I have.

Hmm…Unfortunately this switch seems to have broken the Live Journal Feed.
*sigh* Oh well. I guess I’m back to trying to remember to check another blog manually.

You should be able to re-enter the syndication feed via the RSS link under the meta menu on the right!

Unfortunately, in order to set up a Live Journal Feed one has to be a paid member. Oh well, I’ll make do (But if anyone else sets up a new feed I want to know about it)
