So, at first I was a little weary on upgraded my poorly out-of-date WordPress version since one, I had said I was going to scrap it, and two, because I didn’t want anything bad happening in the end. I’ve been through many forums and post where someone always has a problem with upgrading. Yea, I was little scared, but I got over it, downloaded WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin and watched it do it’s work. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

Now my big thoughts on WP 2.5…WOW! The dashboard is so much better then the last version’s. Very clean and simple, yet pleasing to the eye. I haven’t really gone through it all yet to see what new features I can find, but so far from what I’ve noticed on improved things, very well done! I just might stick with WP for a while longer. Hee XD

Now onto unrelated WP topics! I have a lot of ideas for future websites, that some just keep popping out of nowhere and others have been stuck in my brain for a few years now and I feel that I can finally make come true. One of them being my online shop. I already have the perfect name for it, at first I was going to use this domain (urbanroxy.com) but then decided that I should just keep as my personal blog domain, since it does reflect me a lot. Anywho, so I checked for the name I thought of and it’s very much available in the .com, .net, and .org. For now, I’m thinking of just buying the .com and .org, if by chance there is a special for all there (which sometimes there is) I will go for all three.

Another excitement of mine, if the polishing (since I’ve been working on it for forever now) of my own hosting website. Its not going to be anything big, but mostly geared towards hosting personal, fan, portfolio, websites and along that path. Nevertheless I have been putting sometime into it these past few weekends and hope to open it soon to the public!

Last but not least, I’m also currently thinking of purchasing my own server! While the current shared server that I am hosted on has been EXTREMELY good to me these past couple of years, I don’t want accidentally cause trouble to my great neighbors with all of my up and coming website ideas. Trust me I have more ideas then the ones mentioned above that have to do with a full blown out film/video portfolio and I know for a fact that can be a little crazy on a shared environment. I’ll keep ya posted on those updates. =D

Yes! Today is the first day of Spring and its raining cats and dogs outside as I write this! How perfect, no? I guess the whole saying “Spring Showers” so applies right now. Real nice. haha. =D

I love and hate Spring. (odd huh?) I love it, because during Spring, flowers are blooming and the weather is not to hot nor too cold, just right. It’s probably the best time to go to the beach too, since you know that you won’t get a bad sun burn. You can also work out better, knowing you won’t die from the blazing heat or frigid cold air. I hate it because pollen is EVERYWHERE! I’ve actually been sniffling since last week. I can barely get to my car from my house without scratching my nose. It really sucks, and I don’t want to be doped up on sinus medicine all day. Ugh, I wish I lived by the ocean, it would be so much better…haha.

Why do you like or dislike Spring? How’s the weather in your neck of the woods?

Yea, instead of writer’s block, I’m having more of a blogger’s block. Nothing too interesting has happened in my life worth talking about and nothing too interesting has happened in general for me to talk about, so please excuse me for the lack of blogging here.

Well, let’s see…

I’ve actually been working on WHMCS (web host manager: complete solution) and tweaking it to my liking. At first, its a little tricky to use, but once you start mess around with it more, the better understanding or feel you have for it. Hopefully I can make an awesome WHMCS template like the ones on mywhmcs.com. One day, when I’m not lazy…haha.

I’m also thinking of scrapping WordPress. I’ve been practicing more on my CSS based designing and think that it is time to get back into making and coding my own layouts. I’m tired of tweaking templates to my liking and don’t feel like creating my own for WordPress either. Anyways, I liked coding my own layouts much better and had fun doing it. Believe it or not, but I got many more hits and visitors when I did it then too, not that I’m all about the hits and what not…lol. >_>
