The original WP site that I startled dabbling with in 2009 was so, so, sooooo boring compared to this new template!  It wasn’t easy to pick out a new look though.  While there are lots of .com templates available, many of them are NOT free, and that was one of my requirements.  So, with renewed energy (as a result of attending WordCamp Detroit last Saturday) I’m dabbling again with a new look, and more features than I can get my head around in just a few days.  One learning resource I’m finding helpful is Lynda.com.  Their video-based online training is awesome, especially in the early morning with my first cup of espresso.
