I've been meaning to buy a domain and build a custom wordpress theme for a while. The plan is to switch my blog to wordpress, pick out the posts on this one that I think are significant and repost them. This will act as a blog/portfolio.
I've been getting increasingly frustrated at not being able to post SWFs and use plugins like syntaxHighlighter that rely on javascript files. Shaun asked us to familiarise ourselves with wordpress over christmas so it seems like as good a time as any.
Purchased my domain, webjot.co.uk from godaddy. Pretty pleased with the domain, I spent a while finding something short, memorable and relevant. Found a really good domain search tool called Bustaname that helped me out.
I decided to host my site with godaddy as well since they were cheap, well known and had 1-click wordpress install. so far they have been really good. The customer support is amazing and I got the 12 month deluxe package with the domain (2 years minimum with .co.uk) for about 60 quid.
I've installed wp and uploaded syntaxHighlighter. Planning on uploading lightbox to display my swfs, videos and images. Now that christmas is over I'm going to design a custom theme and have a crack at developing it. I have a basic tutorial and a more complicated tutorial to follow so I'll see how it goes. Will post my progress.
