Larocque and Roll

Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyways

 

Welcome! October 13, 2006

Hello! Hey there! Welcome! It’s my new blog, same as the old one, really! Except it’s shiny and has that new-blog smell to it, don’t you think?

It’s not like moving everything over here was a long, pre-meditated process, where I went from liking Blogger to loathing it, to deciding to set up a new blog, then doing everything involved, and then doing a big unveiling. It started with an email from Jody asking if I was interested in joining his merry band of bloggers in sharing server space, and me saying, “Hey, why not?”, then Jody saying “well, you can move your blog over here too, and oh, by the way, I’ve set up WordPress for you to use,” and me saying, “Cool - thanks!”

Then there was a whole lot of back and forth about how to register domains, ftp stuff, set up WP stuff, tweak the template code, get the RSS feed working, and so on.

But! Here it is! It’s still a work in progress, but so was the other one (just because nothing obvious changed on a regular basis, doesn’t mean it wasn’t happening!)

(Many many thanks to Jody for all his patient help. Muchly appreciated.)

Nice work! Damn, this Wordpress revolution is bringing me down. I keep resisting it and I’m not even sure why. And the URL too! That might make you my classiest blog friend.

What about me and my mad persuasion skills, getting you over here to make mr. rich jody even MORE money. You should be thanking me too!

Just kidding, if anything you should be shaking your fist in my general direction, which is to your east by the way.

 
Jody Says:

I’ll never get rich at the rate I’m charging. I do it because I’m retarded.

Your new blog is very nice, but… am I the only one struggling with microscopic font? The old eyes just aren’t up to the job. Is there some way to make the font bigger?

 
Pender Says:

Hold the control key and press + (next to the backspace), it’ll increase the size of the font, when you want it normal again, holt control and press - a couple of times. Or you can hold control and use the mousewheel to change the size.

Or you can shake your fist menacingly in the rough direction of where Rebecca may be and she’ll get scared and change it.
