Ian Fernando........ Revolution!!!

Well, as I mentioned Previously I have been learning all about Wordpress, web hosting and how to do self installs and maintenance of wordpress itself.... It has been one exciting journey and all to serve a purpose:

To start an internet "project" of sorts with a friend. It has the potential to turn into an income for us, but first and foremost will be just for fun, so we'll see how it goes and grows.

What I am REALLY excited about is that, in developing our idea, I have been on the hunt for the perfect Wordpress theme which I found!!! Revolution by Brian Gardner

Then just to add to my excitement, as I was about to purchase the theme (its a premium theme, not just a freebie) I came across this great site http://www.ianfernando.com and he is actually GIVING away 2 copies, one of Revolution News Theme and the other of Revolution Theme in a contest!!!! Who knows if I will win, but it would be AMAZING if it happened :D

If you'd like to have a chance to win, all you need to do is go to Ian Fernando's Blog and follow the instructions in his post. There's also lots of other great info on the blog too, so stop for a while and take a look around :)

Good Luck Everyone :D

Busy Busy Learning :D

I am looking really forward to what the next few months might hold. So what's happening?

WELL, I have taught myself SO SO much over the last few weeks and after alot of hard work and focus I feel I have finally started to progress in a direction I am happy with :D

So what have I taught myself to do???? Well I got myself some web hosting, a domain name for a site I have wanted to have a dabble in for a while, AND I taught myself how to upload and install wordpress. Now I have my eyes on a few themes that I think will suit my goal, and even BETTER, I might be undertaking a little side project with a friend which is really really exciting.

Its amazing what you can achieve when you put your mind to it. As a mother I do find it sort of frustrating that I have very little time to just sit down and put my head fully into something, but while its taken me some time to achieve I am so proud of what I have accomplished.

Fingers crossed I can get the sites up and running and in 12 months I can look back and totally amaze myself with how far my skills in wordpress have evolved :)
