CozBook

So I just installed this new Wordpress theme on my website… and I’m completely loving it! It’s so funny!  To me.

I notice there’s a strange glitch when browsing through pages and through some of the photo albums, though… I hope I can get rid of them because I definitely want to keep this theme around for awhile.  HA haha hee hee!

I’ve been Wordpressed

OK, only a few would ever notice, but my site’s now been Wordpressatized. That’s how I spent my day. Really.

Yeah I know I just switched to BlogSpot recently, but I was uneasy with the idea of being on someone else’s server. They could have deleted any of my posts for any reason they could justify. Plus, now there’s no re-directing going on when you go to cozbaldwin.com.

The only thing that’s really exciting me about this new era is, on the SEE page, the thumbnails now open all pretty-like to show the larger view.

It should all look pretty much identical to what I had before, so if you see any problems on your end, lemme know by leaving a comment below.

I’m a bit peeved though, because the #1 reason I wanted to switch to Wordpress was because there was a plugin which can crosspost to Myspace. But Wordpress just updated to a new version and it looks like that plugin isn’t working anymore. Hopefully the author will update it and get it working again. In the meantime, if anyone out there has a good plugin for Myspace crossposting which works with Wordpress 2.7+ please let me know!

Blog*Spot

So after all these years I’ve converted from self-publishing to Blogspot…. I didn’t really want to but the page-ranking is SO MUCH HIGHER. I mean, c’mon…. it’s ridiculous.

Anyway, there ya go.
The main menu is on the sidebar now. Searching the blog is all done through the navigation bar at the tippy-top of the page. I may add more later to the sidebar, as it’s much easier to do now, but whatever. I’m sure it doesn’t make a damn bit of difference to anyone.

Holy crap…… do I need to do a word verification to publish EVERY post from now on??? Yikes.

Waayyy Back

Before there was cozbaldwin.com, there was redrival.com/coz
