Finally got that levi denim jacket

When I was 12, it was the coolest thing to have a Levi’s denim jacket and Adidas boot runners. My Adidas boot runners gave me an extra confident spring in my step, but the ‘no-name’ wrong shade of denim jacket brought the whole look down. I had the look, but I didn’t – if you know what I mean.
So too with the blogging software I’ve been using recently.
I had the look, in that I could get a blog out, but boy did it entail woe at times. This is because I’ve been using Blogger. I have a confession to make: while I’ve been recommending to clients like these, and these and these. . . that they use WordPress software, I’ve been pushing along using Blogger. I know – how unsophisticated and Web 0.5 !! Blogger is a pile of crap. It makes the most mundane difficult. And I even hate the design of the interface. In fact, it’s the only Google owned entity that makes me hot under the collar with frustration.
Now I’ve moved on over to WordPress with its easy to use functionality and a world of new features that can be added at the click of a mouse, I feel like I’ve finally got that Levi’s denim jacket! The reason I’ve not posted too much in the last week is because I’ve been familiarising myself with the wonderful world of WordPress Plugins. There’s a plugin for everything; my problem is trying to decide which ones to add and which ones not to.
And the reason why the vast majority of bloggers are using WordPress (or Typepad a close second) for their blogs? Because it’s the best one out there. Luckily in the wired world, best quality doesn’t necessarily mean the most expensive – in the case of WordPress it’s free. So for all those girls and boys out there longing for the online equivalent of the Levi’s denim jacket, they can have it – now, for free, and best yet – they can customise it and build it and make it their own! Kind of like adding patches to the back of a denim jacket.
So let’s all turn up our collars, be cool, and post more often!
