I think I may need to use a widget to possibly connect this blog to my other blog. I have an old one on Livejournal. I haven’t updated it in a while, but I want to… A lot of my posts were set to “Friends Only” so you might not be able to see the meaty stuff. I see that WordPress has password protection here so I might give a few friends a password in case I want to vent.
I have had that journal for years. My closest friend (besides my husband) Mandy and I used to share a type of journal in high school. We would write in a spiral and then leave it in each others locker. The other would pick it up, read it and then write their own journal. It was way cool, or at least in my mind! Little did we know that we were forerunners in the web world! The first blog! Okay, not a “web log” per say, but it was social and journaling. I am pretty sure I still have a journal or two we used. It’s probably packed away with all my other stuff.
Perhaps if I had taken that idea from so long ago, we would be rolling in the dough (and then losing it in the dot com bust). Let’s see, the web started in the 90’s. First website was created in 1991…and look how far we’ve come! Yep, that was about the time Mandy and I were putting journals in lockers.

I just noticed that Wordpress is ignoring my HTML structure (even the one it creates). The lists in my last post don’t have bullet points, what gives? Why give the option, and then not follow through?!

Also, “Superstar in my Own Private Movie” is kind of a long title for this blog, perhaps for a tagline instead. What witty and cool title can I use? Maybe something clever dealing with being a latina webbess, latina webber, latina muy fina, latina cochina…hm, gina cochina, latinista, webinista, ginagwen?

So I am eagerly looking through free Wordpress themes that I can use for my blog.

• Do I go with a cute vector art grunge style theme?
• Should I find something that matches my website? Which I need to update, like 2 years ago.
• Should I pick a theme with dark colors to show how deep I am, or light and bright to show my fun and witty side?
• Is there a way to download a theme and then edit the parts you want? I don’t know since I can’t decide on one!
• I’m sure I could make my own, but how…do I have to do it in the next few minutes before I go to bed?

Oh Wordpress, how much time I will waste on you!

More questions I am asking myself:

• Exactly what will I put on this blog? Work and web design related information?
• Since everyone can read this site, how much personal information (like photos) should I allow?
• Will I have anything interesting to write about?
• More than that, will I keep up with this blog?

Hm, questions to ponder in dreamland.

So I have created my first WordPress blog. Now I just have to make it work and keep writing in it. I wonder if I can connect this one to update my old blog. Hmmm…this will take some time, but I’ll try and figure it out.
