Bunch in the Sun
It’s been about a week now since my new site has been up and running. I’m still getting acquainted with the little differences between WordPress & MoveableType. Although I loved MT, I’m really liking the ease of WordPress. I’ve got to give all the credit to Ryan for making the smooth transition from the old site to this one. Ryan set-up the entire site and everything within it.
One of the cool features that Ryan installed on the site is the Flickr thumbnail photos in the right column. I think it’s a nice personal touch that displays photographs old and new, at the same time it provides easy access to the photos.
On a side note; I recently started adding photos at Flickr, and I highly recommend Flickr if you’re looking for a place to post your photos. Flickr has a number of cool bells and whistles, but it’s also a great way to share photos. One cool feature with Flickr is that you can blog from there, (as I did with this post) which means that you only need to download a photo once, so you’re using that webspace for photos instead of the webspace on your site. Best of all, there are far more visitors to my photos at Flickr than I ever had viewing my photo page at the old site.
I don’t know if anyone noticed, but also in the right column is a very cool button for Esoteric Bowl that Ryan created. I’ve never been much of a button person, and I’m not one to add a bunch of them to my site. Still, it’s very cool to be buttonized with your very own button.
Have a great Aloha Friday!

Wow, that is great to be able to blog from Flickr. Yes, I have noticed your button and nice pics, sorry I forgot to mention them. I like this layout better than any you’ve had. Lots of nice details; like a classically tailored Armani jacket. Aloha Friday!

I like the button very much! Glad to hear that the learning curve for Word Press is not as steep as you once thought. Happy Friday to you.

Your site has a very cool feel to, simple, streamlined … quite beautiful actually - I love the buttons!
I love this blue skyed picture and now I have to go add you to my flickr contacts : )

Ryan has done a great job and I love the Flickr thumbnails, very nice touch and very YOU.
I’m so pleased with Flickr, even for a freebie person it is great. I might upgrade one of these days 
Have a wonderful weekend!

I like the Flickr thumbnail photos a lot. I think it’s great to see different photos each time, especially when they are all so nice.

Aloha Kane, I also like the new look of Word Press but I’ve had that from the start since I started blogging in August. I’m gonna find out about Flcker, I think your pics are great too. Have a great weekend!

It’s good to have friends like Ryan! Now I shall go try Flickr. I like the idea of webspace for the photos elsewhere — plus more visitors! Have a great weekend, Kane!

Hi, Kane!
I haven’t blogged from Flickr but will check it out. I agree about the cool bells & whistles that Flickr has to offer. It can be addicting though. I read in the Flickr blog that someone compared Flickr to crack. I’ve never done crack but I may try going cold turkey soon on Flickr. I can’t help but being inspired by other photos like yours. Have a great weekend!
