Welcome to the new Post Irony. I got so bored over the long Thanksgiving weekend, I upped and got some server space and installed WordPress there. Now I’m free from the free WordPress.com service. That means I can use plugins and alter some of the style: fonts and colors and the like. That also means the blog isn’t free anymore. I got my domain name for a year and two months of hosting for about $18. I can live with that.

Then I spent a long evening transferring all my posts from the other blog. I used the same theme but there are some differences. The photo in the header is gone, rendering it pretty ugly, but I’m looking for a new theme, so maybe that will change. I installed a plugin that pops up a fancy box when readers click on photos to see bigger versions. Couldn’t do that on the old site.

I also built a Web site at my new domain, dondailey.com. It’s kitten weak now, but as soon as I learn some actual coding skills, I’ll make it better. It will be a magnificent showcase for my past journalism work. Or something. Uh…
