3 Changes to This Blog

1. A New Theme

I went with the Copyblogger theme that comes with all WordPress installations. I chose this one because it allowed a lot of flexibility, was widget-ready, and looked clean and professional. Chris Pearson is a great designer. I’ve already had a few people comment that they liked the change and none that did not like it.

2. A New Way to Purchase My Book

After discussing my experience with Lulu.com over on the forum, I decided to switch to my regular provider of digital download services, E-Junkie. E-Junkie has really been delightful to work with and they provide everything you need to start selling online. Their shopping cart setup is as easy as adding products and then adding buttons to your site. You can also use them for non-digital products (aka… art) and use more than just PayPal for payments. I’ve used them for a couple of years and have been very satisfied.

3. Support This Blog support page.

I talk about this more on the support page, but the ideas was this: keep the main content area free of annoying ads and yet still provide a way for my readers to help support this blog. None of the ads require you to purchase anything, you just fill out some information and then I get paid each time. The first ad, for example, pays me $25 for each lead, so you are really helping me when you do these offers!

.

So there are the 3 big changes to the blog, I hope you like them.
