So My Blog Kinda Sucked, So…
Posted by AlanJul 17
I made a bunch of changes. Can you see them? Yeah… probably not…
First… there is now an Opt-In box over to the right ————–>
Hopefully that will attract a little attention!
Second, I added Twitter and Facebook follows on the sidebar…
Not thrilled with TwitterCounter… it’s not updating and apparently hasn’t in a while. Need to find a better alternative.
I tried adding a Welcome Video… having a little trouble figuring out how to place it correctly… any suggestions would be awesome!
Third and most importantly, I added an “About Me” page that really is About Me… it’s my personal story so far. It’s kinda long… so skim it if you want.
Can’t figure out why there’s no comments box appearing at the bottom of my About Me page… the code seems to be fine, and not commented out… not sure. Once again… any ideas you can suggest would be awesome!
UPDATE: Figured that problem out… turned out that the comments code was everywhere except on page.php, so now the comment boxes appear just fine! WooHoo!
I also need to go and get a nice title graphic designed… that will really spice things up!
Anyway… drop me a line if you have any suggestions about how I can get my few little glitches ironed out!
Peace,
Alan

I was just passing Alan, so thought I’d leave you a comment! You might want someone to test it out, and make sure it’s working fine?
HAHA
The design you went for is very clean, and easy on the eyes! Now all you need to do is change your permalink structure, make it more SEO friendly, and easier to remember!
1) Click on the Settings Tab.
2) Select the Permalink Option.
3) Either pick one of the common settings, or select the Custom Structure and insert /%postname%/ which then shows up as /about-me/ for example.
4) Enjoy the benefits.
Other than that, I think your blog is shaping up well!
Thanks

Awesome suggestion Mark! I really appreciate it! I was just looking at that today, wondering if I should make the change… I’m going to try it and hope it works out!
Thanks again!
Peace,
