I switched hosts today and spent a good portion of it tweaking things here and there. I’m still not satisfied 100 percent, even so, I didn’t want to keep the “maintenance mode” sign up any longer.
For some reason I can’t get my categories to work and I’m still working on my header image.
Feel free to notify me of anything that’s broken or let me know your comments overall.

Hi Mark, I see you’re drummin’up a nice and clean new look, here. Lookin great!
-Jos:)
I like the new look. As to the categories not working, maybe the link structure changed?
Categories are working now. You’re almost there buddy
Looks great so far!
I love the new header graphic but by the sounds of it you won’t be keeping it long?
Cheers!

Hi Mark, I don’t see that search box your 404 is mentioning. You afraid some paint dripping out of it?
@Jos: Thanks! It’s sort of a mixed set of emotions changing themes. On the one hand, it’s exciting to have something fresh, but it’s the tweaks that get me.
@Baron: Thanks buddy, but I haven’t worked on the categories since your last comment. And I’m not sure how the link structure would have changed. It’s quite possible I didn’t carry over something correctly. Right now, when you click on a category, it takes you to a page explaining it’s not found but within my theme. Aaarggh!
@Snoskred: Much appreciated! Yeah, about the header, I’m thinking of a new logo and colorizing the background. I spent so much time on that last night I just said, “Forget it for now and come back to it.”
@Jos: hehe…thanks. I forgot that I had removed the search widget.
New host or new theme? I think the theme looks nice
Look good, buddy! Very clean. I like
Which host did ya end up switching to? I’ve noticed a lot of bloggers switching hosts lately. There must be something in the air..hehe.
@Kyle: new host AND new theme. Thanks!
@Mike: I went with Host Monster. I considered the one you posted about earlier, Host Gator, but I didn’t like that they restricted you to one domain for their cheapest account.
It looks great so far!
I’ve heard pretty decent feedback about Host Monster as well, so I hope it goes well for ya
I’m paying 10 bucks a month on Host Gator and have the unlimited domains. That does kinda stink that you can’t have that with the cheapest
@Malin: that’s very kind of you!
@Mike: Yeah, the way the hosts feature things ends up being a wash here and there. Cheap price, but less of “whatever”. My main goal for moving was because my old host was a little slow and sometimes had my blogs down. So far HM has given me great support with their live chat.
I think it looks pretty snazzy so far! You’re very smart to have your blog privately hosted.
@Christy, Why thank you ma’am.
Hey there, I like the clean new look too. I’m on blogger and keep meaning to update my look.
If I start any new blogs I’m definitely going to choose wordpress as it looks much nicer for most blogs.
I guess it has better functionality too.
Hey there, Forest. Thanks for the compliments. I’ve never used anything other than WP, but it’s definitely something that offers a lot of flexibility and functionality.
