Hi Liz, I’ve been busy since yesterday and this is the first chance I’ve had today to stop by. And this is the perfect post for the focus of my weekend!! It’s almost as if you knew … 🙂
I’m moving into a new template — in fact, I’m not even completely unpacked. But I just nearly totalled the thing with a stupid mistake (it was saved by the excellence of the WP support forums), so I’m taking a break for a few minutes.
This is a great link — thanks for sharing it!
I’ve tried to stay off the computer this weekend but am so glad I came to your blog, Liz, to find this post.
After skimming the tactics, I’m looking forward to exploring each this coming week. Looks like there’s more work to add to my productivity agenda.

Hi Katie!
What a great new template! It works for your topic and for what your goals are! I think things are looking super already!
Glad this link is going to be useful to you!
Hi Shirley!
Nice to see you!
This one is a great one. I think so too. I just couldn’t wait to share it. I’m so happy you stopped by to get a chance to see it!
Blog Traffic, my secret purpose behind bloggin!
j/k, 😉
But this is by far one of the top concerns I have when doing any changes to the site, how will it affect my blog traffic. Thanks Liz, bookmarked to share with others too 🙂
Always there fir ya’ Techz! 🙂
Some really good advise in that link Liz.
After reading through the 21 tactics listed, I’m happy to report that I’m already doing a lot of what is mentioned and a few things that are not.
Yep, I just dropped a hint, possibly linkbait 😉 that in the next day or so, I will post a few bonus tips that will help your page ranking with the almighty powerful google, yahoo and others.
Liz, Thanks for taking a look — I’ve got some cleaning to do before it’s ready for the grand opening. But I think that already it takes care of a lot of the issues that were so irritating about my version of the old template.
Now, back to cleaning up some of those weird sidebar issues!
Great refresher — and yes these tips are timely. Thanks Liz! Another new site to explore — Happy weekend.
Hey SeanRox
What lovely news to hear from you! We’ll be paying attention to your blog — not that we aren’t already. Got to keep our eye on the next James Bond when he talks. 🙂
Katie,
I think you’re already looking fabulous. The rest are just details!
Hey Ellen,
So much exploring. Sometimes don’t we just feel like the Internet version of Lewis and Clark!
katiebird’s new theme looks fabulous, it looks like it was designed for J4T
Hi Techz,
I agree with you. I think her theme is perfect for her content and her adjustment to it work really well to bring the nuances of what she’s doing. There’s one SOB who’s making the best of a premade template. Yea for Katie and Yea for you because you noticed!
Good Morning,
TechZ (blushing) & Liz (still blushing) — Thank you both so much. It was an incredible challenge to move into it in a day the way I did. But it’s a real relief to have it done.
Liz, I’ve decided that it’ll always be premade templates for me. While I could learn the details of coding a WP theme, that’s not really what I like about blogging. I’m into it for the communication challenges (and the nutrition support 🙂 ) Even though I’m a programmer by profession, it’s a distraction to my main goal in ‘this life.’
With my limited knowledge of the WP codex, it would take me forever to create anything as sophisticated as the simplest template out there. So I’m perfectly happy browsing the public template offerings and picking whatever is closest to my needs that day.
Liz — It will take me all week to catch up on all the posting you’ve done this weekend. I guess since generally I’m peaking in every couple of hours it’s not such a challenge. Today? I’m wishing I could stay home just to catch up.
Not that I’m complaining — this is great!
Hey, no worries, Katie,
I guess that means that you’ll be glad tohear I have a breakfast meeting soon.
Liz, I’d love to see your Day Planner — You’ve got to be one the busiest people I know!
Katie,
I hardly do anything. Really.
I don’t even have a day planner. 🙂
katiebird, I was thinking the same thing actualy, Lizs’ planner must start from the am until the pm chock full of stuff to do!
Nah, Techz, you guys are my daily planner. 🙂
