Yes, I know it is ugly
By nottryingforaboy | February 16, 2008
So, my first wordpress post. It isn’t that pretty around these parts right now. But I wanted to make the move. Soon and hopefully sooner than later, it will be pretty.
I was all set to have Summer at Designs By Summer make a new layout for me. I like her work and she has very pretty layouts. But in trying to figure out how I wanted my blog set up, I realized that the majority of the blogs I liked used wordpress. I contemplated moving- after all I don’t really have that many posts to move and if I lost something it wouldn’t be a big deal. But on the other hand, I don’t have many readers and what if I lost some? I realized I wasn’t blogging for others though.
Then Lisa at Take 90 West made the move. And that was the icing on the cake. So here I am.
Like I said, it isn’t pretty. But it is going to have to wait a bit.
Because I’m going to Vegas, Baby! We’re going this coming week. I just don’t think I’m going to have the time to devote to making it a pretty little home on the Web for me before we leave.
Plus, I’m still debating on it I want to have wordpress host or set up my own url. So, tell me why you did or didn’t.

Look at you over here at the WP! Congrats on your move…and have fun in Vegas! A trip to Vegas would trump blog design any day in my book.
I went with my own url because of the ad. You cannot host an ad at a yourname.wordpress.com blog, you have to have your own url.

That makes sense. I didn’t realize you couldn’t have ads at wp.com until last night.
Looks like I’ll be moving once again. But right now I’ve got shopping, planning and packing to do.
