Moronacity

I’ve spent the last two days converting my blog to my web server (Moronacity has been hosted by Futurequest for several years). The biggest reason for this change is that I was tired of getting blank pages every time I logged into Blogger, tried to read comments on friends’ blogs, or tried to read the comments for my own blog and reply to them. That’s just not good blogging business. Now that my blog is completely on the Futurequest server, under the Moronacity domain name, the Blogger issues, and the issues associated with any free host, are now a thing of the past.

It was a bit difficult making this change. You see, I decided to go with WordPress, which is much more complicated in that it is necessary to have a basic understanding of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) if you want to have a personalized template. These last two days were spent trying to manipulate templates, and failing miserably. Fortunately, WordPress gives access to simple templates that are wonderful for customization. I must admit, I’m selfish and I don’t want to have the same template as other people. Yes, I know this template is quite similar to my Blogger account, but I did personalize that with color changes, and this is a little different in format. Face it, there is only so much you can do with a blog, and I didn’t want to change the color scheme because I think the blue does a lot for the pictures I post.

The best feature of the WordPress software is the smiley capability. Everyone knows I like to use smilies.

Bear with me. I needed to go live so I could check links and formatting on the different blog pages, so you may find errors over the next couple days.

Enough about blogging! It’s time to ride!
