You Made It!
September 11, 2008 at 6:30 pm | Posted in Blogging | 20 CommentsSo here you are. Welcome to the debut of Clare’s Dad 2.0. I had been thinking about moving my blog to WordPress for months and I finally did it. Let me know what you think of the look. I know it’s a little plain right now, but we’ll have some pictures eventually and the header image may rotate. I did want to keep a little color and the title font of the old blog. I’ve worked hard at branding, you know. As for old posts, only a couple of them are here from the old blog. The others aren’t gone forever; they’re being saved for Clare.
I’ve also finally bought the Clare’s Dad name as a dot.com. Be sure to update your links and readers. I know it’s a hassle, but I’ve done it for some of you. The old blog will be accessible for a couple of months and then go private. It’s not that I’m hiding from any of you, it’s just that I’ve finally decided that I want a little more privacy for my family life. As it was, it had become far too easy for anyone to Google me and read a history of the past three years. Besides, if you want to stalk me, just look me up on Facebook or Twitter. If you’re really into that, you can find me on LinkedIn too.
I’ll be around soon with more new posts. Thanks for sticking around.

I had been wondering where you had disappeared to…great new site. Love the new header. Very fitting fr a theatre pro like yourself! I have considered changing over to self hosted myself, but haven’t as of yet. What made you make the switch? I can understand privacy, but I will tell you that it has been great watching Clare and you having a great summer!

Man, I’m so glad you told me about it being casual–I almost put pants on.
It’s nice here.

Looks great! Did you have a hard time picking a theme? There are so many out there — the more you google, the more you encounter. It is a difficult choice. This one is very nicely laid out and easy to navigate — very similar to your blogger theme. I do like the way these comments look. When you start adding photos, I’m going to ask you if you can get the Flash uploader to work. Congrats on your own domain name. Can’t wait to see where this blog goes.

Don’t you feel all official now that you’re a .com? No? It’s just me? Well, alrighty then.
I love WP. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the move! And I like the new look. It’s lively and fun with a great nod towards what you’re doing in your life.
