Upgrading

The last couple of days have been a pain in the butt.  I did a lot of behind the scene work on my website.

  • I switched the registrar for my domain, lao-ocean.com
  •  signed up for a new web host
  • migrated my blog to the new webhost
  • my webhost deactivated my account because my credit card information was for the U.S., but my ISP was in Korea
  • had to call and reactivate my account
  • upgraded to WordPress 2.3.3
  • spent hours and hours reading about WordPress themes, plugins, upgrading, blah, blah, blah

Initially, I had considered opening up a WordPress.com account and just redirecting my domain there.  There were two main reasons I didn’t go that route.  One, I couldn’t customize my theme or install plugins.  Therefore I couldn’t even use my current theme (brown and red with the dragonfly).  Second, I’m hoping to make my blog more multi-media rich in the future, and needed a little more elbow room to stretch my wings.

More work needs to be done tomorrow, but for now, I’m going to relax and enjoy tonight’s episode of Lost.

    Looks like the nearly twenty year wait may have been worth it.
