Welcome to the new Cottonable!

I’m very happy to announce the new website (or rather blog) look of Cottonable. Not only a having a new look, Cottonable is now powered by popular blog platform Wordpress instead of Blogger (Blogger.com or blogspot)… It took me about a month — few hours every day — to install this new template (thanks to Kailoon for desiging this sexy template) and modified it; to customize functionality of the new template; and to migrate all the old contents to the new hosting and adapt it to the new platform (we have more than 1000 postings since I started blogging in 2006!).

It has been steep learning curve for me since I’ve never customize wordpress-powered blog, thanks to my friend (I call him lumut, pronounced loo-moot) who pushed me to try this little tiger. If you’re serious about blogging, you have to start with self-hosted platform (such as wordpress, not to be confused with Wordpress.com) instead of hosted solution like Blogger or Wordpress.com

There might be some bugs here and there and if you find any, please let me know. I also look forward to hear what do you think about the new blog. Thanks.

*more T-shirt postings later! It’s been short of lack posting for the past week.
** A little problem with commenting though, I still couldn’t find way to move all old comment to the new platform.

Anyway, here are some screen shots of the new blog:
