Website now live!

This morning my domain name finally was found, hurray.  Only took about 6 days and way too many refreshes of www.thewickipedia.com to see if it was alive yet or not.  Up until now I have been using a temporary link.  Now I get to migrate all of my WordPress links or whatnot over to the new url.

Anyway, last night I spend a considerable amount of time designing what my page will look like, and then took a plunge and designed the entire footer image.  I learned numerous new photoshop techniques and think it turned out quite well.  Credit to:

Now when I have some time I will need to design a matching header and navigation menu for this site.  I’m also thinking about moving the search box up to the top right and combining it with some kind of area that looks like it is paper-clipped onto the website.  Some other things I might look into are things to optimize my blog for search engines.  I’ve heard a lot about the SEO pack and sitemap generator  plugins.

I had another idea for a sub-category of this site.  I was thinking about posting guitar-tabs, and more specifically ones that either I have written, modified, or think are very good.  Would anyone be interested in that?
