Welcome to my dot com

If you’re subscribed to my blog via my feedburner feed, this should reach you without any problems at all. That feed, by the way, is http://feeds.feedburner.com/earleyedition.
This is the unveiling of my dot com. That’s right, I’m off Blogger, and into the big time. The pantheon of stars. The coolest thing about this blog is not the writing, but hopefully it will become the coolest thing. The coolest thing is that Earley Edition image up the top there. The background is a cut from a pic of mine. Are you looking at it and thinking, “So?”
Well, how about hitting refresh? Go ahead. Try it.
No, really.
Okay, back? Yeah, baby. You may still be thinking, “That photo is no better,” but at least it’s a different average pic! At the moment there are about 55 different backgrounds or variations of the same background, so knock yourself out! More to be added later.
That said, the blog was blogger. This blog is WordPress, hosted on my own stinkin’ site, footloose and fancy free. Not sure entireley what that means, but we’ll go with it.
For my launch post, let me just reiterate that it’s good to have you here.
My name is Dave Earley. Thanks for joining me.
I’ll try mate.
Nice dave. Now go pass those subjects :P
Hi Bren! Thanks, and you are visitor number ONE! I assume.
I think you would have to get your own site for the photo swapping thingy. I never looked it up for Blogger, but something to do with the photos and code having to be in the same file and stuff…. Not sure how it would/could work in blogger.
Anyway, now that I’ve launched this, and all the time-wasting I’ve put into it, it should be back to business as usual!
Fancy Shmancy young sir! You’ve beaten me to it on every count. I want my own dot com (but some bastard has already taken it – maybe one day I’ll be an org). And I want that fancy photo swapping thingy at the top. I saw it on another site a few months ago and have kept meaning to swipe their html, but just never around to it.
Maybe I’ll just swipe your html instead?
Either way, congrats on the new address.
