Comments on: Photo Friday: Complexity http://www.lewandowski.net/2005/08/06/photo-friday-complexity/ Hi! I'm a Web site manager, a Gemini, into enjoying good food with good friends, cooking, gardening, photography, and writing. I tend to lean liberal in my politics and love a good discussion on any of these topics. Keep in touch.

Yesterday, I changed hosts to hostm.com. With their cPanel system, you can install a variety of programs into your site with the click of a few buttons, including a couple different blogging systems, CMSs, photo galleries, and lots more. I sound like a commercial :-) but it was really easy to do. I changed hosts, installed WP, and found and installed a new theme for it (so I can't take credit for the look - see the credit at the bottom of the page), all in about an hour. There are dozens of themes you can choose from, and they're really easy to install - just download CSS files and templates, and upload them to the right folder at the host, then select it in WP. WP also has some features for preventing comment spam, and the login button is for me, to add a new post. My next project will be to install the Coppermine photo gallery and figure out if it can be integrated with WP. Thanks again for stopping by :-) Kim Hey, Donna, thanks for stopping by, and for leaving comments :-) Nice to know someone is reading this stuff ;-)

Mozilla bookmarks has a way of notifying one (you have to set it) if a website is updated. so, just added that to your blog. I keep a eye on Virginia DeBolt's blog that way. cheers Donna Hi Kim, thought i’d post a comment here in the interest of conviviality and helping you further figure out the blog and to say it looks really good.
