It’s Official

I have now “officially” converted my site into the wonder known as WordPress.
I’m a little shocked I must admit. When I tried installing WP several times previously I had no idea what I was doing. I just have to say that I have learned everything from the members of The Quilting Bee. Seriously. Without them, my site would be full of nasty iframes and god knows what else. 
Using WordPress is a lot easier than I thought it would be. It’s a snap to create new pages. Transferring my stuff over to WP was quite easy and didn’t take too long. I did kill some pages however. Things like what’s in my purse, my wishlist, my nintendo stuff, and a few other things are missing right now. I may bring them back, but for now they’re on vacation. 
I had installed WP into it’s own directory, and I just moved everything to my root directory. This means I have to go back and edit all of my links. The links all work because they are linking to my /wordpress/ directory. I’ll get them changed to my root directory as soon as I can.
I made some tiny cloud smilies to use on here. I will probably add more sometime soon. I’ve also got some customizing of the main page/sidebar to do as well. All in good time.
This is so awesome! Oh, I’m all impressed with myself! *squeals!!*
If you find something that isn’t working, please do let me know!

Erin, I thought it would be a lot harder than it was/is. The BBS member helped me out a whole lot! Thanks for your comments.
I was able to visit your site while at work today. Hopefully I can start getting to it from home. I don’t know what the deal is.

Well done! It looks so good! Keep up the good work.

It looks fab Ashley, you’ve done a great job – especially considering you’re new to WordPress!
