Let Me Count The Ways…. http://blog-op.com/blog-improvement/ Opportunities, Opinions, Optimize Fri, 19 Feb 2010 12:58:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Claudia http://blog-op.com/blog-improvement/comment-page-1/#comment-8462 Claudia Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:43:04 +0000 http://blog-op.com/blog-improvement/#comment-8462 I changed my server and it was a big difference. I was in Startlogic but when I had problems with Movable Type they couldn't help me. Their support is terrible. Then I went to Globat. Please, tell everyone to keep away from it. Now I am at Hostgator and I am getting more visitors each day. I changed my theme as well. Maybe that helped. I changed my server and it was a big difference.

Go me! They included changing the design and sharpening up the whole focus of the site. And getting a hoodie printed with my website address - just for a laugh! Anyway, next on my list is to create more great content. I'm a fan of this site, by the way. You are top of my alphabetical Blogroll!

I have just developed a new theme called <a href="http://blogs.mysites-advisor.com/index.php/2007/10/23/transformation-theme/" rel="nofollow">Revolution</a>. :) See if you are interested or not. I believe, getting a reliable hosting and design for your blog is very important. I suggest you to go with MT if you have a sum of income a month. Or Use Bluehost/Dreamhost instead for better price. :) Hi, Chris! I have just developed a new theme called Revolution. :) See if you are interested or not.

I don't know what it is withthis theme, but any attempt to move the sidebar calls anywhere else just breaks it. Cheers K, I shall add them to the list of possibles! Webduck, sometimes life is more important than blogging - unbelievable I know ;-) Cheers Maurice, I shall be asking for affiliate links when I make my choice, only fair really.

I try not to miss too many days, but sometimes I like to leave a post "out in front" for a few days. Like anything else, you need a break from it sometimes to avoid burn out. I think your content outweighs the colorful/pretty worries, although a new look often makes you feel better I know. As far as hosting goes, I use Kiosk for my blogs and they are excellent, and I don't say that just as an affiliate, and wouldn't be crass enough to post a link. Not the cheapest, but 100% reliable and top support, technical and customer service wise. Hi Chris
