sticking with it
Ok, so I found a template in Wordpress that I’m going to stick with. My next step is to go in and search and replace all of the photos from Typepad to Wordpress. I am sort of avoiding that step. After that, I want to find a really good photo plugin.
My old site was sans serif, but I’ve taken the serif plunge. I guess as I’m getting older, this big Georgia font is easier for me to read.
Over last weekend, Amy and I went to Nikon School in Manhattan (Our instructors were Reed Hoffman and Bill Durrence). It was a fantastic experience and we learned a lot, much of which we tested out on a short excursion in Amy’s Astoria neighborhood the next morning. There are galleries on our facebooks and I will try to post some of the photos here. Not incidentally, the photo that is my banner above was taken in Astoria while playing around with white balance settings.
The trip was a battery refresher. I had a lot of time in the car to think and listen to podcasts and music and reflect on my life, since I feel like I’ve been too busy to do that lately.

The site is looking great. Nikon School sounds really cool also.
About a photo plugin, on my personal blog I use ImageManager.

Works well. There are a bunch of them out there. Have fun test-driving.

A Typepad defector, eh? Well, the new blog looks great!

Thanks, Pam!
Thanks for the photo plugin Heather. I have been playing with facebook photos and fotobook so far.
Incidentally, I have transferred my typepad photos from 2008, 2007 and 2006 over into my new blog entries. Now all that’s left is 2005, 2004 and part of 2003. Half way there.
