Smile I Have WordPress Now :)

I'm a happy camper and I can't wait to see how my blog will grow from this dramatic change.

I'm looking forward to the months ahead!

I wanted to share that because I'm so happy and also I recently created a facebook page for it (I know, about time, huh) so if you could please visit and at least be a fan or what not. I know there isn't much on there right now but I'm working on it!

If I posted this in the wrong section or what not, please let me know

Congrats on switching over to Wordpress. You will love it! There are a lot of great plugins to help you achieve whatever it is that you want to do with your site. I'll check out your fan page now. Be sure to go to facebook.com/badges so that you can get the code for your fan page to place on your site.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

I didn't even know about these "like badges!" However if I already have a button and a way to share with each post, would I need one?

I absolutely love WordPress - so many things you can do!!!

You won't necessarily need it but it would be good to have the badge in your sidebar and maybe the "facebook like" or "shareaholic" plugin at the bottom of your posts.

I wouldn't have it any other way but Wordpress.. So much flexibility and it's universal as far as having any work done on your site.

Personally I add Thesis on all my sites for maximum SEO capabilities. Also, Backup Buddy for full monthly backups.. and yes I actually had to use it one time when I literally 'lost' an entire site.

Welcome to the WP world! dee

Oh! You've done it now! You have come over to the dark side! LOL! Watch you, you will be addicted!
Just teasing you! Really, you've got a nice site! I would recommend that you change the color of the links way at the bottom of your page. I couldn't read them at all. They are blue with a purple background and practically invisible!

Keep up the good work with that site, I bet your traffic will grow quickly!

I know, I am trying to test out different colors so those links are visible! I appreciate the feedback!

I love Shareaholic!!!!

Is Thesis a plugin as well? I have been thinking about the back-up plug in to safe myself incase something in the future ever happened.

Thanks everyone!

Congratulations on the site! I love the color! It's clean and simple. I believe anything with gray looks clean and professional. I also recently started a new site and decided to go with wordpress because of all the plugins. I just can't stop adding functionalities. The existence of great plugins is what made my site possible.

Thesis is a theme which will help you customize your site more easily by yourself. It is paid but a lot of people love it and use it.

Oh Ok. Right now I use a theme called Flexibility3 which allowed me to totally have complete charge of my design what not.
I might have to look into that Thesis Theme down the road and give it a try!

I really appreciate the compliment - it's like you're telling me my newborn is handsome! Haha! I have so many people to thank - wahadventures.com and realwaystoearnmoneyonline.com

Thanks again everyone
