    Dear Diary, Day 07

    I joined a WordPress theme community. They are very welcoming. Finally, like-minded people.   I have narrowed down my search to 20 WordPress themes I love. Here’s just the first three on my list: the swiss army theme – has the top 4 features that are needed to launch a blog. the mall theme – every plugin known to man under one roof. the minimalist – one font, one color, huge margins I’m not sure, but the “mall theme” sounds perfect to me. I put a poll out to the community and my mailing list to see what they have to say.     You’ve just finished reading another diary…

    Dear Diary, Day 06

    This grammar course is good so far. However, I keep editing my rough draft from Day 4…. Wait, what happened to my writing from Day 1? Be right back. *shuffles papers on her desk.* Hmm… Guess I will go to the car and see if it’s there. *An hour later* I’m back. I didn’t find the draft but I think I’m ok with moving past the two lost sentences. I did clean the car though. I even when to the car wash. Looks pretty clean.   You’ve just finished reading another diary entry of Subbie. If you can relate or like the story, leave a comment below. Feel free to share check…

    Dear Diary, Day 05

    Spent the majority of my day debating whether or not to renew my hosting subscription. It’s a great deal, with a lot of services attached. And yet, I barely use any of them. It’s kind of like having cable with networks, except I have to create my own shows. So after I was done feeling guilty, I renewed my hosting subscription and my blogging vows. $100 dollars for 12 months, not bad. I also received a good amount of coupons and discounts with my purchase. Most coupons were regarding online website designs, and one to a fast food restaurant. LOL Now, to put content up. But first, I need to…

    Dear Diary, Day 04

    Wrote a blog post today….sort of. I wrote one paragraph, couldn’t figure out the spelling of a word, landed on a grammar site and signed up for a free course. Ugh. At least my grammar will be awesome. And yes, I did find the correct spelling of the word that started me off on this rabbit hole. I feel like I should go off to some beach house and stay for a week, alone; Just me and my laptop. And the internet, and books, and notebooks, and cake, and cookies. Or I could finish my blog post. The first option sounds less expensive and better for my waistline.   You’ve…

    Dear Diary, Day 03

    I don’t like domain return policies. I’m now stuck with this himynameissubby.com That’s the 3rd domain I’ve bought this year. I’m not listing them here because they’re still inactive and I don’t really want them. I have to stop waiting for the current owner of my domain name to crack. She keeps ignoring my emails but seems to be doing well with her water bottles. I could have been famous. That could have been my domain. People could be buying water bottles from me! Well, no matter. This ship moves forward. *Pretends to put a captain’s hat on, tilts her her up and to the right, and squints up* I will…
