As I look at the time in the lower right corner of my desktop, I realize it is indeed Thursday.  Where did the time go?

I can say this, I have spent most of Wednesday parked in front of my computer for many hours, focused on one thing.  Moving my blog from WordPress.com to a self-hosted WordPress format blog.  I did this in order to have more creative freedom when it came to my blog.

Since I don’t have my photographs for the Thursday Thirteen Blog Theme, I have decided to use this opportunity to point out Thirteen New things about my blog:

  1. I have a new and improved color scheme.  I think it’s easy on the eyes, but if your having a problem with it, be sure to leave me some Feedback in the comments section.
  2. On the Home Page there is a rotating Featured Blog Post banner.  Pretty cool, right?
  3. Just under that you have the Tabbed area highlighting some of the categories I organize all my posts into.
  4. Some you won’t see because it is a behind the scenes kind of thing, I de-cluttered my Blog categories to make it easier on all of us.
  5. Again on the home page, there is a box with three of the most popular posts.  You should probably check them out so that those numbers stay high, thank you very much.
  6. In case you happen to get lost while checking out my blogs new diggs, there is a little blue birdy towards the top of the page that will tell you where you are on my blog.  Sorry the birds GPS is limited to my blog.
  7. You can now read some of my Tweets because I have a Twitter Stream right here on my Blog.  Just look at the Menu Bar at the top of my blog.
  8. I also made it easier for you to read any posts you may have missed by creating a Page devoted just to my Archives.
  9. My About Me page is looking less tablized these days so be sure to click on over there and brush up on your Patty Knowledge.  There will be a Quiz on Friday.
  10. This theme was developed by a dude over at NattyWP
  11. One thing missing is my sidebar with all the links for Blogs “I’m Proud to be of” are.  I will have to work on those after I get a few hours of shuteye.
  12. You can’t see this either, but I have a new email address just for this blog.  Like I needed something new to memorize.  but you can now email me at:  patty@pkphotography.us
  13. Last but not least as they always say, there are a few spots you can click on to Subscribe so you don’t miss any postings.  If you’ll look in the upper right corner of this page, there is a purple ribbon flashing RSS on it.  Go click that right now and Subscribe.  Go on, click on it, it won’t bite you.  Now that you’re done with that, I would love to know what you think of my new blog design.  I want you to be brutally honest.  After all I write this blog for you.  🙂

I leave you with this photograph I captured about two weeks ago.  Enjoy my desert sunset.

I almost forgot, you can check out more Thursday Thirteen offerings by clicking on this pretty graphic someone made just for the occasion.
