Wanna blog? Use WordPress.

For those contemplating on starting a blog — or even putting up a Website (be it for business or pleasure) — I highly recommend WordPress.

I have used WordPress since I started blogging about 3 years ago.  Aside from my blogs (yes I maintain a number of them) I have put up and am maintaining at least half a dozen Websites all running on the WordPress platform.  I even recently set up a couple of e-commerce sites, also on WordPress.  Btw, NO PROGRAMMING SKILLS REQUIRED!

Finding my way back to blogging

Until just a few days ago (Nov. 30), I haven’t blogged for 2 months and 1 day!  That is quite a long time considering my blogging behavior in the past 2 years — until after Sept. 29 (the date of my last blog entry prior to Nov. 30), that is.

It wasn’t because there was a lack of topics to blog about during those 2 months and 1 day of “dry spell.”  Truth is, a number of significant events — in my life, at least — happened during the said period.  For one, my dad passed away in October. In the first 2 weeks of November my ex-ex-girlfriend and I accompanied her parents to their pilgrimage of the Holy Land. Oh, and I almost forgot… I turned 40 (ouch!) in September. Continue reading

Time for another change of clothes

I HAVE been blogging for about a year and a half now.† I have not become a professional blogger, if there is such a thing.† I have learned a lot of new stuff about blogging but I can’t and I don’t consider myself to be already an expert on the subject.† I continue to learn new things everyday.† True to the title of my blog, I ‘wonder’ all the time.

I must have changed the “look and feel” of my blog about half a dozen times already.† If this annoys my readers then I apologize.† What I can assure them is that each decision to change that I make is always in pursuit of improvements to my blog.

As you might have noticed, I changed my blog’s look and feel once again.† This new “theme” I have just implemented is so far the closest to how I envisioned my blog to look like from the very start — a magazine format.† It offers a lot of new features and functionalities that were not available in the previous themes that I used.

I know that I cannot please everybody so there may be some who are not thrilled with this new look and feel for A ‘Wonderful’ Blog.† Again, I apologize.† Please bear with me as you always have for about 18 months now.

For those who like this new look and feel, I can assure you that there is more to this new theme that what is immediately apparent.† I am just starting to customize it, hoping to make it look even better and much easier to navigate around.

Like it or not you are invited to give me your comments and feedback.† I can say with some degree of certainty that am neither inclined to change this current theme with a new one nor am I inclined to revert back to a previous theme.† So you might as well help me in improving it.
