Debut!

Lookit! I’m so excited!

If you’re reading this in bloglines (or any newsreader) you’re missing out. Verypink has a brand new look! And today is the debut!

Today’s format will be a little different, as sort of an intro to the newness. There is both a new look and a new server. That changes a few things.

Don’t worry! Verypink will be back to it’s normal photo-heavy-limted-text self on Wednesday!

First – verypink has a reliable RSS feed now. This was one of my main priorities. If you subscribed to the lame feed I had before, you need to cancel the old subscription and subscribe to this: https://verypink.com/feed/ (Just copy this into your newsreader, OR, if you using the most recent version of Firefox, there is a new and fancy little orange button that you can hit to automatically subscribe to a feed, OR you can use the handy link at the very bottom of this page.) If you don’t use a newsreader, then ignore this paragraph and don’t let it confuse you.

But in my opinion, everyone should at least be using Firefox.

The new look changes how I do things… as I heard from more than one friend, I needed to bring verypink into the new millennium. (They were so right.) I’m now using WordPress, which means I have all of the ease that blog software provides, but with control. I still write all of the posts in HTML, but I get fancy things like spellcheck , automatic dating of posts, and auto archiving. Not to mention, the new look.

Did I mention that I’m excited about this?? Kinda scared too…I had the old look for about ten years. No kidding. Change is scary.

“A guy named Mike” did all of this work for me. Mike happens to be an expert at both the design as well as the technical side of web design. He is brilliant. If you’re looking to get website work done, I’m very happy to recommend him. Just let me know if you would like his contact info.

It would be impossible to have a verypink post without at least one photo. So, here we go…

See you Wednesday, when I try to write a normal post when nothing seems the same. Twilight Zone time.

  12. Holy Cow! I love it! That’s my first response. Now I gotta go read it. There may be more. Really love the place – Nice job, Staci!

  14. yay new look! I love it. But can you really call it Very Pink now? It’s more like Very Beige. Or Very Greenish Yellowish. Or Very Greenish Yellowish with a side of Teal. Now THAT’S a catchy name.

  15. Love the new look!! Then again I love earth tones and pink together anyways!!

  19. If you ever need help with installing any WordPress plugins or anything yummy like that, let me know. They are pretty straightforward, aside from adding the code. And yeah, WordPress! (I named it. My big geek claim to fame.)
