I’m posting with my newly downloaded WP 2.7 and I freaking love it! The dashboard is so clean and organized and the sleak look of the “add new post” page makes me want to add 10 more posts after this, haha!

If you haven’t already, I HIGHLY suggest you download the new version, you won’t be disappointed.

I know with my last post, I was debating whether to scrap WP or not and well with this new download, I think I’ll keep going with WP for quite a bit longer. XD

Well, I’m off to see what else this new release has, I’ll edit this post with more details!

I’m currently in the process of giving this site a total makeover. I have three designs that I’m trying to finish up and choose for the final product, but that’s not going so well. I’ve also had a few up and down ideas on what exactly to do with this site; keep it personal…turn it into a portfolio…or just simply a blog? With the new designs, I hope to figure it out soon. Yes, I like to think backwards. The design helps me choose what I want to do with site…odd, I know.

My biggest mind blower here is whether or not I want to keep WordPress or hand-code everything. I mean, I know to an extent, I will be hand-coding everything, but WordPress makes things just so easy! Like I’ve said in a billion posts before this one, I miss coding everything on my own!

This probably such a small detail to most, but a big step for me and this site…argh I don’t know what do!

Any suggestions, comments, or questions…please and thank you!

So, at first I was a little weary on upgraded my poorly out-of-date WordPress version since one, I had said I was going to scrap it, and two, because I didn’t want anything bad happening in the end.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
