I’d been using a really nice iBook G4 since 2005, and it was finally time to upgrade my laptop. I bought a gorgeous MacBook with an illuminated keyboard. The keyboard is really much nicer than I thought it would be! The unibody construction is also amazing.
My only complaint (as many others have said) is the glass screen. The matte screens that used to be on all Macs is preferable (at least to me). The only one you can get with a matte screen is the 17inch MacBook Pro…a bit out of my reach. I’ll learn to live with it.
I usually use Migration Assistant to fully pull over my prior self but I didn’t do that this time. The old G4 has been around a long time with an old processor, and I just decided to “stay clean” this time.
This is my first post from this new MacBook. How does it look 
I’ve spent the past few hours digging through the endless themes that are currently out there. In the early days of WordPress there were about a dozen themes that were decent out of the hundred themes available. Now there are a few dozen decent themes out of the millions that seem available. My numbers may be a bit exaggerated, but you know what I mean.
Will the theme I choose end up influencing the content I throw up? It shouldn’t (in theory), but my mind is already wandering on that fact. By choosing a “news” theme will I end up doing more news-ish stuff? If I go with a traditional straight down blog will I just post occasional snippets? Or what about a photo-based blog?
Categories vs. tags is another issue I’m thinking of. In the old WP days you had categories and nothing more. Now the confusion has increased with tags. Some say categories are like the table of contents in a book and tags are the index. Do I have to come up with my table of contents right away? It isn’t easy trying to write an outline (or develop a table of contents) until you have lots of things written – at least in my experience. I’m not yet sure what I want to write.
I decided to go with a “fresh” look with a lot of orange floating around called Tropicala. I trimmed one of my photos to use as the main image at the top. We’ll see how I feel about it in the next few months.
Now…what category should this go under? What tags? Why do I even think about such things?
Hoping this post makes it to the web. Sending it from my iPhone… just to see if it works.
