Just to finish it up
I found a host, learned CSS, fell in love with MODx and built my perfect site. Except not. As I said before that didn’t quite happen. I couldn’t get MODx to do exactly what I wanted. At this point I just wanted to launch the site, started looking at what other blogs use. It seems that if you are not using Blogger then, you are using Wordpress. As it turns out Dreamhost has Wordpress as a ‘one-click’ install. I clicked it and installed Wordpress and decided to ignore inperfections. It would work.
I ported my CSS design from my MODx setup and created a custom theme for Wordpress fairly easily. In fact everything was fairly easy and ‘just worked.’ I feel lame for not sticking with MODx and one day I hope to go back to it, but for now I will stick with Wordpress and thus the site was born.
Alright I will try to get start posting some much more interesting items soon.
Oh and APPLE your iPhone kills me!!! I didn’t flinch at the price. The Cingular exclusive bugged me, but I understand why. But I can’t ever go back to a phone with a camera on it!! I suppose come June I will go to the Apple Store and cry over beautiful technology containing an unforgivable flaw.
