Converted to WP, Finally! Please Bear with Me!

Friday, March 21st, 2008 | Other/Random with 27 Comments

Just so you guys don’t see the image of the sexy Eva Mendes anymore (sorry to be a image blocker!), I’ve decided to display my recently converted Wordpress blog from Blogger.

I’m still working a LOT of things out so please bear with me. But I’m hoping to get everything fully functional by the end of today!

I have a lot of customizing, designing, fixes, plug-ins, etc to work on. If you guys have any suggestions, feel free to let me know! Also, if you see something that’s not working for whatever reason, please let me know as well.

I would like to personally thank the owner(s) of ShoeThatFits for taking the time and going out of their way to help me transition my blog from Blogger to Wordpress. Not only did they help me through it, they knew details on my hosting server… honestly, I could not have been more impressed with their technical skills. So, to the both of you guys, thank you!

Bobby – Well, I still have a LOT of deadlinks, which sucks. And there’s a lot of things I need to fix up, but when I get everything settled in, oh boy, the Blogosphere should watch out! lol!

Rome – They all should be, I double checked a handful of them, but I’m still getting some deadlinks for some odd reason. How’d you do yours? Also, I fixed the PR problem so now it’s back to a PR4

Shoechef – Thank you for all the help! Appreciate it, gave ya’ll a shout out.

Hani – Hey Hani! Yeah, I’ve been meaning to switch to WP since January LOL! But I finally did it…

Jason – woohoo! I’m probably going to install the top commentator plugin to give some link love, so hopefully this switch to WP will get people to comment more!

I didn’t see your blog in it’s previous state, but I have to say that WordPress is where it’s at. I’ve never used a platform that’s so easy to customize and provides such an intuitive administrative interface. If you’re interested, I did a write up about 5 useful WordPress plugins that might be worthwhile:

Tommy – Hell yea I am. I’ve been meaning to switch over since January lol

Tamera – I saw that once too but now it looks fine. Is it still shifting over?

Richard – Are you spam that made it through? How was this post informative? lol

Public – I’m definitely liking it a lot more. Just need to get used to it.

Rosli – That’s what people keep telling me lol… I dunno, we’ll see!

Gerri – So far so good. No complaints… yet.

Keith – It was a pain to transfer my domain name and get it set up, but I’m over it now. Hopefully I won’t have to do that for a while!

Alek – Hopefully you continue to come back and maybe subscribe to my RSS Feeds?

Billy – BBBIIILLLLLYYYYY!!!!! What’s up playboy?! Yeah, I’m glad there are people definitely willing to help. And if anyone needs help, you know where to reach me!

I got some weird error messages when I post a comment earlier. But it pops up just for a few seconds and back to normal again. Didn’t get what it says. Don’t know if it’s something to do with the plugins or something else. And the CommentLuv didn’t get my last post correctly Just thought you would want to know that.

Junkie – I think I sometimes get that on other peoples blogs. I’m not sure what it is but the comment still goes through. As far as the commentluv getting your post wrong, did it at least get a post from your site?
