Comments on: New Look http://www.windycitymike.com/2007/01/29/new-look/ Musings and rants about politics and geekery with a distinct Chicago flavor.

The banner was nice, but frankly, I really like the whitespace and the black-on-white simplicity of this new look. I'm a fan of simplicity. :) As for hosting yourself, let me know if I can assist any in the transition. Correct me if I'm wrong, but WordPress.Com either doesn't allow you to install plugins at all, or probably, if it does, severely limits you. If so, you're missing out on most of what makes WordPress a quite cool blogging system. :) And with a site as frequently visited as Bedbugger, I imagine even some simple Google AdSense ads could produce a tidy bit of change. Anyway, I'm definitely not a high-end expert, but if I can be of any assistance if you set up your own WordPress blog offsite, let me know. I'd recommend LivingDot, my webspace provider -- they seem to be good folks.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('557','Mike'); return false;">Reply</a> : <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('557','Mike','Kate, glad you like the new look.

As a former Chicagoan, I do miss the banner. But there's lots of color on your site (I think these themes just do not work for people who don't blog any photos or youtube stuff). I am having trouble with my theme--hosted at wordpress.com. I want to start hosting myself partly because the themes provided on the free wordpress sites don't quite do what I want. The ad possibilities are out there too.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('556','nobugsonme'); return false;">Reply</a> : <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('556','nobugsonme','I like the new look!

I am having trouble with my theme–hosted at wordpress.com. I want to start hosting myself partly because the themes provided on the free wordpress sites don’t quite do what I want. The ad possibilities are out there too.
