In this week’s video I actually have some GOOD weight loss news, I show you the Valentine’s Day cards that Blake made and an update on some upcoming blog stuff.

I’ve decided that randomness can strike on really any day and it’s not just a Monday thing. Ladies and gents, I present to you today’s batch of randomness which happens to be on a Friday, in case you didn’t know.
- I did a guest post on twitip.com called “How to Get Celebrities to Tweet You.” It’s been well received, Tweeted over 200 times, 20+ comments and I’ve gotten lots of new Twitter followers and blog traffic. Great experience. I am planning to do more of these types of things. I hope you won’t mind the new guests we have joining us here.
- I think 2 drinks before weekly video chats is going to now be a thing. Maybe it should be called “The 2 Drink Chat Show.”
- Somebody on Twitter asked me if I’m a full-time blogger. I guess that whole “putting it out into the universe” thing works digitally too.
- Somebody on Twitter also asked me for advice on writing a book. Weirdo.
- Casey and I are both fans of “The Office” so when I emailed her during the show and said “scissor me,” I assumed she’d get the joke because it referred to last night’s episode. She wasn’t watching.
- I occasionally read PerezHilton.com and find myself not knowing anybody being gossiped about. At least Dlisted.com does it and makes me laugh. Even if I have no idea who he’s talking about half the time (Jersey Shore? WTF?).
- Speaking of funny, if you aren’t already reading The Bloggess, go.
So, Internet, I’ve been really busy ever since announcing that I was doing WordPress setups for free working on these four blogs. Let’s take a look at them.
1. Kami’s blog
Old blog: running on iWeb, a.k.a. the single worst product available from Apple
New blog: WordPress blog running Thesis
kamibible.me
Friends, this is an item I can officially check off my Bucket List. Kami’s old blog was so hard to navigate and it just wasn’t up to Kami standards. Migrating from iWeb to WordPress wasn’t easy since iWeb doesn’t follow the same file structures as every other blogging platform. I installed Thesis, Kami provided the graphics and I tweaked the code to do some of the things she wanted. Now her pretty photos will finally have a proper stage!

2. Marcy’s blog
Old blog: Blogger
New blog: WordPress blog running the Dark Flower theme

Marcy had been spending a lot of time tweaking her Blogger blog and then decided to take the plunge into WordPress. She’s been able to edit the files to customize it but will probably never really stop tweaking because that’s just how she rolls.

3. Courtney’s blog
Old blog: Blogger
New blog: WordPress running Thesis

Oh, are you in for a treat with this one. Courtney originally had me setup a free theme for her but what she really wanted was something as customized as mine. She was a big fan of my blog when I redesigned it so she had me redesign her blog in a similarly whimsical way but with items that are very Courtney-like. I think it turned out insanely fun.

4. Karen’s blog
Old blog: WordPress running a free theme
New blog: WordPress running Thesis

Karen runs a great blog but was doing it using a free theme that didn’t live up to the standards of her writing. Her aesthetic is very minimalistic and I think the results turned out well. I hope it will set her up well for her future blog plans.
