Woke up at 5am and 5 hours later...

I'm frustrated I woke up at 5a.m. on a Saturday but I guess that's what I get by sleeping at 9 last night which is way too early for me. It was a well needed sleep though.

Thanks to a kind push, I figured now is a good time as any to convert my one static page into the Mephisto blog I set up 12 days ago.

I guess that's it and I'm officially a casual blogger in my own right.

I used the Simpla Theme as my base code . A couple of adjustments and class additions were done to fit my design from the old one static page set up. Liquid is a no brainer and I'm glad for that.

I preferred FeedBurner so I added that too, plugged in my Askimet key and now I am set. The migration of the design was done from 5am to 11:30am but I was multi-tasking on a few things while doing it. It's safe to say it took 5 hours. A decent project completed. I'm happy about that.

    Looking good. Especially like the slideshow and images. That's cool that you have a slice set up already at SliceHost. You're ahead of me on that one. I *just now* got moved off of TextDrive to Dreamhost. Also, I was just recently (like, Wednesday) removed from the Akismet black list, so with any luck this comment will show up.

    Your comment did show up. :) I am loving SliceHost but I'm a bit troubled that you'd have to get on a waiting list to get a slice. They're excellent right now. The honeymoon is not over. It may take awhile before issues and responsiveness fails. I hope that never happens. I cant be ahead of you. You're way out there when it comes to deployment. :)
