That's right ladies, I am the proud owner of lickmysticks.com, I've got hosting, I've transferred my blogroll. And now? I'm a little lost. I HATE every blog theme I've seen. I want to do my own but I'm not even close to that smart. I just want it to look KNITTING RELATED, not like a peaceful spring fucking day. So that's my major complaint thus far. I don't know anyone that would design me one for free....which sucks.
Overall I'm pretty terrified I'm going to hate this very quickly. But I WILL figure it out! I'm pretty computer literate, so all hope not yet abandoned here.
If any of you are doing the WordPress thing and have any helpful tips or tricks, please pass them along. I'm sure I'll eat up a good month or so trying to move everything over to the new blog. I found rockin' hosting for 5 bucks a month (and they let you pay month-to-month!) at POEhosting.com. Thus far it's been really user-friendly. I set up The Accursed's website and it was a nightmare, this has been tit easy. They have a "blog plan" that has WordPress built right in, it set most everything up for me!
In knitting news I finished the Steek Vest last night, it's pretty bulky and frumpy on me right now, I'm going to block it to death probably tomorrow (I used Wool-Ease for those who asked) and see what happens. I certainly wish it was longer, so I'm going to try and stretch some inches out of it. To celebrate this FO, I dove into my moms simple black eyelash scarf. I'm using size 9 straights so it's going to take a while, but it's thick and heavy...very nice. You know, say what you will about eyelash, sometimes a thin, black, fuzzy scarf is just the right touch! And as my mom pointed out, they don't snag your earrings! Anyway it's a nice interim project I don't have to think about. I got about a foot and a half done watching Grey's Anatomy (playing catch-up on season two, only 3 episodes in!), The Shield, Lost (Working on season one...what a cool show!) and the newest Family Guy. (I download TV shows like it's my job, I have no cable.) All in all a nice evening of R&R, I've been sick as a dog for 3 days now. :(
Well, I'm going back to wandering around WordPress lost and confused.

Do you have any experience at all with CSS and stylesheets? If you do, just pick a Wordpress theme that is more or less what you want except for color and pictures, and change those entries in the stylesheets. It's fairly straightforward with the newest Wordpress. You're welcome to e-mail me about it if you like.
