the first hibiscus I ever grew
The update is complete. I’m amazed. There were absolutely no problems…that I know of. Please, everyone, look around the site, and if you find something that doesn’t work, just let me know via a comment or an email.
You’ll notice a couple of differences between this incarnation of Inkwatu and the previous one. Most notably, it’s more compact with a navigation menu across the top. You’ll also notice that, at least for now, I’m limiting the front page to only one post. Also, I’ve not yet integrated the Restaurants page. I plan to expand and improve that before I do. The side columns are now both on the right. That will make the site load faster in your browser and greatly improve viewing the site on a pda or smartphone.
I must say that I’m very impressed with how well the WordPress update went. (WordPress is the software that I use to “make” the blog.) Their instructions were very clear and worked as they said they would. How often does that happen?! I’m also very impressed with the Thesis theme which I”m now using. (A “theme” is additional software that formats how things look.) A special word of thanks to a friend and fellow blogger, Marty Marsh (author of Inner Success Circle and Marty’s Web Kitchen) who helped me through this transition with exploratory access to his own WordPress 2.7 Thesis installation and with much needed encouragement.
So…despite my saying in the last post that I wouldn’t be publishing a post this Wednesday, I will be after all!
