Check ME Out!

Posted Saturday, May 20th, 2006 at 9:12 am

I feel all important now that I have my own site. I had been asking for one for a long time now. I have been telling Scott that I need to be taken seriously and I felt like the Blogger site just wasn’t doing it for me. Nothing against Blogger, just that it had some nasty mood swings, and I need something a little more stable. It was a very thoughtful Mother’s Day gift from my guys. There is still work this new and improved site needs, it is still under construction. It’s going to look so awesome – Scott is going to have to use my site to sell himself to other folks wanting an awesome site built. Until the construction is complete, this one-page design will have to do. I need feedback! Please, if you have a moment – leave me a comment and let me know what you thing of Scott’s design. The awesome picture in the background is of Pike Place Public Market in downtown Seattle, Washington state. Scott is the artist behind the picture. He took it in January when we were up there for Christmas and New Year’s, and then he perfected it on the puter when we got back home – pretty groovy, isn’t it? I love the image, it shows the beauty of the city pure and simple. I think the site is coming along wonderfully – but I need your feedback. Thanks!

Okay, now that I have welcomed you to MY

web site, I wanna get to some serious blogging! I mean that’s why I wanted my own site in the first place…

I don’t know if everyone feels this way – When a friend of mine is feeling stressed, or sad, I feel it too and I want to fix it. I know I can’t fix how they feel, but I can let them know that I care. I hope it gives them a little boost of happiness with the simple thought that their friend cares about them… My friend, Mr. Naughty Pants, is a pretty darn good pal of mine, and working with him is an experience I will remember forever (for a few different reasons *wink*). I want to touch base on his teaching for a moment, because I think that he is one of the best teachers I know – by far! We all have one of those teachers that made a positive mark in our lives. A teacher we will never forget and would love to thank for the awesome way they touched our lives. I sit back and watch Mr. Naughty with his students and I know that they will probably forget much of what happened in middle school, but if there is one good thing they’ll carry with them the rest of their lives, it will be him.

I hope Mr. Naughty Pants knows what an awesome support group he has standing behind him. He’s got three powerful ladies who have his back and will go to bat for him at any given moment. He has the entire staff at our school and the entire student body who like him way too much to allow anything to happen to him… What can I say, he’s a loved guy and he’s a permanent part of the middle school family. “With great power comes great responsibility” -Uncle Ben (Spiderman) When you have a good friend you don’t let them fall – even if they are pushed by someone else…

I have a few great passions in life and one of them is Friendship. It has to be the most powerful thing in existence. Mr. Naughty Pants shows everyone he comes in contact with (especially the kids) kindness and respect. He will be remembered… I guarantee it!

Thanks for visiting MY new site – yay

! I am very excited to have it. I have a million and one ideas for this site! I hope Scott can keep up with me (he’s doing all the wok), and I hope you’ll keep coming back to see what new and exciting things I am doing.

    Nice graphics – what does it cost to have your own site?

    Scott said about $4.00 per month. Not bad for what you can do with it.

    Alright…I’ve got to ask.

    How difficult was it to import over all of your blogger posts? Piece of cake as advertised? :D

    P.S. Great looking picture…and I love the transparency effect too! :)

    It was easy to import. Just give WordPress your Blogger name and password, and it does the rest. The only problem I had was that it kept hanging during the import. I had to restart the process about 10 times, entering the name and password each time, for it to pull every post over. I’m hoping that was a problem on my end, or on Blogger’s, and not a flaw in WordPress. It made a simple procedure very tedious. But everything imported perfectly.
