If you did not notice, the blog has changed in many ways other then the new domain name (don’t forget to update that in your blogroll!) You can click the link below this excerpt to see my whole post or my whole blog now and from the main page see Michael’s blog and all our other sites.
Michael built it all (with a lot of my input!) and posted about it in his blog too, I’ll try not to repeat too much of what he said. I think the new design is pure awesomeness. I adore the layout and colours, which we debated about for quite awhile before finding something we both loved. Its all in one place so I don’t have to go everywhere to find everything anymore. I can give people one domain name instead of ten from now on.
I think the layout is pretty self explanatory but if you have any questions or find anything wrong let me or Michael know. I hope that you like it as much as I do.
We’ve been planning a site such as the one you are now looking at for over a year, a combined blog and portal to our other websites.
After we figured out what we wanted, it only took about 2 weeks to design from start to finish, and then modify the design to be a Wordpress theme. Nearly every page is easily customizable, and this will allow us to create sub-blogs that have a completely different design.
If there is enough demand, I will clean up the code to the theme a bit and release it for other Wordpress users to use. Let me know if you would like to use the theme for your site. (The released theme of course would not have this custom front page – though if you want a custom front page for your wordpress blog, I am available for hire.)
If you find any broken links, images, or problems, please let me know.
Enjoy!
It came to my attention a few minutes ago people were getting 404 errors on my blog (people you got to let me know when this happens, drop me an email or something! 
) It problem is fixed now, let me know if anything else pops up.
So I fainlly went through the 4000 some comments my blog software has marked as spam… hopefully Michael can upgrade my wordpress (where you comment) so that I can approve people on an individual basis and won’t have to deal with the 100+ spam comments I get a day. My other blog uses that technique and it seems to have a lot less problems.
So Eknock, Eala, Kymba, Raven, Ginanne, Venny, Zyleeth, Shafanhow, Skywing, Velen, Dad, flarecarrot, Meowman, WildeRavan, Silerenth, Rah-Bop. Purrmeow and Opaistt are the people I found in my spam filter.
If you comment does not show up don’t worry it just means it has to be moderated because something landed it in the spam filter. Hopefully this won’t happen again but I will keep a closer eye on my spam filter till we upgrade.
I added an about me page here for anyone interested. Michael found a neat thing so that I can list the books I have recently read on the main blog page. I am wondering if there is a way I can have my most recent up there and then above them the one I am reading at the moment. Kind of how the blogger of You Who? does it on his. Oh and expect the layout of this journal to change soon because this one is incredably boring.
I need to make a note to myself here too, to ask Michael about I can make some custom fields for the bottom of these posts so I can list what mood I am in. what music I am listening to and what tea I am drinking. Mmm tea.
