Downtime

500 Internal Error: *Punch*

Here you go Mr. 500 Internal Error, take that! I did some serious ranting on Twitter the past two days about Dreamhost having issues with the server that my site runs from. I would like to apologize for the downtime and I’m hoping that everything is now set back online for good, or at least until the next problem that arises.

Change of Wordpress Themes

Over the past month I’ve been playing around with different headers and colors. I’m happy to say that I’m pleased with the current layout. =]

Here’s a look back on the past two variations:

Old Theme, two

Old Theme, three

New Theme, New Thoughts

..all together, new beginnings. Refreshing? Awesome? I think so.

In order to give my old theme the correct goodbye, I thought I’d upload a screenshot of its glory days:

Old Wordpress Theme

I’d love to hear what you think about the new theme. <3

Over the Next Couple of Days

I’m working on a new theme at the moment and haven’t completed it. I’m hoping that over the next couple of days it will be ready to go, but in the mean time I will be using this theme.

Hang in tight, and be sure to check in when the new theme is up and running.

100th Post, and 10 Months of Blogging!

I’m very surprised that this is actually my 100th post!I It sure doesn’t seem like it, but my WordPress Dashboard says it’s so. I’ve learned quite a bit over the last 10 months of blogging about myself and blogging. Though there was a couple months where I was lacking in posts due to life being a little crazy.

I’d like to thank everyone who’s stopped by and participated in this blog. I have some exciting and fun things planned for the future, like adding categories such as Suggested Movies, and I hope you come along for the ride.

For those of you who are interested there has been 8,543 views and 181 comments received since December 4th, 2007.

So Fresh & So Clean, Clean

The switch has been made from Wordpress.com to a self-hosted domain using the Wordpress software installation. After almost 8 months since the blogs debut I decided it was time to give the blog it’s own domain and the ability of more customization. Don’t let this confuse you, I redirected Cathryn101.wordpress.com to the new improved blog at CathrynGray.com.

What has changed:

The theme (or template as some call it) - I have switched from the Digg3 theme to a new theme which shows more of my personality and is more clean.

The sidebar(s) - Instead of three columns there are only two now. My newest photos at Flickr can be located at the top followed by the RSS feed icon and social network icons which link to my profiles. Along with my Tweets via the Twitter widget, Categories, Archives and Blogroll.

The post set up - Beside each post is now icons which when clicked will share the post at Digg, Del.icio.us, and Technorati.

Contact page - Which contains a contact form allowing viewers to directly contact me. 

Let me know what you think and if you find any problems. 

Note to subscribers: Please switch from my old RSS feed to the new RSS feed.
