The limitations of a free wordpress blogsite are now stopping me from doing what I want to do, so I’m going to grab an upgraded version of WordPress, simply so I can use plug ins and have a better, cleaner design applied to the way this blog looks and works.
To do this successfully, I’ve had to buy a domain name to point the wordpress blogsite towards so I’ve purchased www.justblogging.co.uk . The good chap Mark Steadman at www.bluemilkshake.co.uk made the purchase for me, and he’ll be providing me with my hosting too. Hence the change of name at the top of this- it’ll be a few days before Nominet send me details, but hopefully you’ll see a change in the appearance very soon.
This also means that I can have small windows for features on the blog itself (videos, photos, audio podcasts etc) and won’t have to create a new page every time I want to create a different subject format. That in itself is a bonus, and will make the site so much more easy to use. Hopefully you’ll agree.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to transfer everything from the current blog into the new one, but I’m sure the wordpress FAQ’s will help there (crosses fingers).
