Congratulations! You found the new home of WomoPage.
I bought me a domain name (womopage.net) and got me a web host (DreamHost) and set me up shop away from the vulgar world of Blogger with the elegant aid of WordPress. One great advantage of WordPress is that it allows me to categorize posts, making them more easy for my hoards of eager fans to find. (See the Archives tab above.)
By the way, I highly recommend both WordPress and DreamHost, DreamHost especially. If you’re in the market for a web host, I recommend them most highly. And if you do sign up with them, please list my e-mail (mwomack@mac.com) as your referral. I get a small commission that way!
I’ve had a time of it modifying my new layout to match the one I just created for Blogger, but I’ve got it pretty close now. Turns out the blogger template I used was a ripoff of a WordPress template called K2. (The template originally looked something like this; so you can see I’ve done a fair bit of modifying.) At least I didn’t have to start from scratch, thank goodness. Still, there’s been a lot of eye-straining editing of code. More tweaking will occur over the comming weeks, no doubt, so be patient.
Now if I can just pour as much effort into maintaining this blog as I’ve spent setting it up.
One Comment
I heard something about DreamHost getting DOS attacked. Maybe that’s what it was?
I have been very happy with shared hosting that I have from DreamHost. I have:
Debian Linux
20 GB of disk space
1 terabyte of bandwidth
Unlimited domains
675 email addresses
PHP, Perl, MySQL, Jabber, WebDAV, Subversion, Ruby on Rails, WordPress, Gallery, phpBB, etc.
and the customer support is fantastic. The turnaround has been very fast and they have helped me even when I f**ked things up myself. For example, they restored a bunch of files that I had nuked on my WebDAV share and they had it done in around 2 hours and that was on a weekend!
and it’s only $7.95/month though I don’t really pay anything because I make $97 off of referrals so it pays for itself and gives me a bit of extra income. I have been very, very pleased with them.
By the way, go to your control panel and click on rewards and there’s a way to get a URL that people can click on and you get the referral without them having to remember to type your email address!
