Friday was the day…I went ahead & purchased my own domain & hosting package. As of 11 o’clock yesterday morning I became the proud owner of http://nil17.com. Excitement rushed through me as I made the commitment to see where this blog thing will take me. Then I left the office to get my hair done.
Last night I struggled, freaked out, got angry, got depressed, felt stupid & still managed to work out enough to make it into a live if completely blank page. Now all I have to do is choose a theme, customize it, move everything from here to there.
I have managed to narrow down my theme choices so that part is getting closer to finished. (Ooops, completely forgot that I need a title to my blog… “Something Creative” is working okay but I’m noticing that people are searching for different things on Google with “something creative…” in the terms & ending up here. I’m pretty sure the “something creative for bedroom” searcher was wildly disappointed!)
So far I’m getting some great help, advice & encouragement from a bunch of my Twitterati. It is much appreciated. Being the neurotic, self-doubting girl I am not being able to just read the directions & make the whole thing work drives me mad. I’m hanging on though…for now!
This site will remain up & running indefinitely as I want the new site to be in perfect working order before I show you around the new place. I’ll keep you up to date as much as I can w/o ruining the surprise of what the new digs will look like.
*This concludes the official announcement. You may go back to your regularly scheduled lives….I shall go back to freaking out*

That is so great!
Congratulations and welcome to the ranks of the “domained bloggerati”
I’m not an expert, but I know a bit about wp.
So if you need anything, give me a yell.

I know you told me this on the phone, but I had to stop and check the official announcement anyway – very excited to see the new site.
