New Website

It’s official….I have a new website ~ sojournerphoto.com.

It all started a couple of months ago, when Brando was here and took a look at my blog…he wasn’t impressed. Well, the content was fine, just he didn’t like the look. He said, “Mom let me make you a real website.” So that started me thinking, and that’s always a bit dangerous. And in anticipation of some life changes, I really thought it would be a good idea to have a new site. But as I told you before, I lost my old domain name to a hooker…sniff, sniff, and coming up with a new one seemed to have me stalled at the starting gate.

And then Brando started school again, and poof! webmaster gone. I’m sure if I begged and nagged and waited patiently for a break, he would have done it eventually. Might have cost me a lot of garlic chicken/bacon/avo/provolone sandwiches is all. But I didn’t even want to bug him. I know what summer school is like. So finally, I decided, I’m going to try. Scary. What I know about web stuff, php, html, blah, blah, blah…uh…nada. But where angels dare to tread, fools rush in. Well, I didn’t exactly rush. More like held my breath, crossed my fingers, prayed a lot, and then after a month or so, took the plunge. Did the domain, webhosting, set up pages etc., added content, even set up google ads…..drumroll please…ALL BY MYSELF! Seriously. And it works. I think. And it looks pretty dang good considering I did it, not Brando.

So come visit me at my new home. Click on everything and let me know if anything doesn’t work. Take a look around and let me know what you think. I’d really like some feedback. Or Kudos. Cause I’m pretty darn proud of myself. Four years ago, all I knew about computers was how to turn one on.

The new site is all photos, all the time. I’ll come back here and write periodically, but for now, I’m concentrating on the photo front…and I think that’s good. I had 407 hits yesterday, my first day. Happy. Very happy.

Oh, and if you subscribe…please add the new site to your feed-reader. Well, even if you don’t subscribe, feel free to add it anyway. 8~)
