Viewpointjournal.com service transition!
In case you haven’t noticed, my site looks a bit different right now. And I’m very excited about it.
Through Blogcritics.org, a blogger’s forum where I post on a fairly regular basis, I learned of a new service called Elegant Webscapes, a service that works with bloggers like myself to design and/or redesign websites in general and blogs in particular. I have been seeking a good design service for a while and so, after doing some research on the service and their clients, I felt I had finally hit upon the right service.
Not only that, Elegant Webscapes is affiliated with a hosting service, Blogs About Hosting, which I chose to go with as well. So, as you can see, I’ve already begun my transition. The new site design will take 5-7 business days, but I’ll continue to post as normal before, during, and after the new look is applied.
If you read back through some of my old posts, all of which were transferred to my new service at no extra cost, you’ll see some of the links and text are showing their tags. That’s because my old blogging system, pMachine, has the annoying habit of creating non-standard HTML tags. My new service uses WordPress, which, thank goodness, sticks to the tried and true HTML language.
So, please pardon the dust as construction continues on my new site. I’ve been incredibly impressed with the service provided by both Elegant Webscapes and Blogs About Hosting and I think you’ll like the new look and feel, as well as the new features once everything is complete. Once everything is complete, I’ll post a message on the whole experience which, at this point, has been a breeze.
Thanks for your patience and I look forward to hearing your comments on the redesign once it is complete.
Regards,
David Flanagan

My previous comment did not get posted. Don’t know if you’re getting these by email or not, but something doesn’t seem to be working correctly.

Sorry about that. The comment setting had an option checked that required me to approve all comments before they are posted. I removed that option so that, as long as people put in their name and email, comments are immediately posted.
I’ve obviously got some work ahead to customize the options on this site. Very nice set of features for sure.
BTW - Thanks very much for visiting and posting.
Regards,
David
