Several months ago I contacted a custom designer, and gagged at the 2 to 3 THOUSAND dollar pricetag!  since then, I have found another in the 4 to 5 HUNDRED dollar range, but that is still more than I want to spend on a personal blog.

Themeforest has other options, not entirely unique, but almost, in the 15 to 25 dollar range. Now we’re talkin’!  But still, I would love something that says “Ferd!”

I’ll keep looking, but would appreciate any ideas.

So, sitting at the airport this morning waiting for our flight, I thought I’d check to see if a WordPress app was available for my iPhone, and… sure enough!!! Why am I so excited about this? I feel like a kid with a new toy!
(Don’t tell on me, but I’m posting during my conference. Shhh.)
Here’s a pic from inside our room at the FireSky in Scottsdale. I hope you can see our nice little view. More pics later.

BTW, I’m posting from a computer at work!  Cool! All of 5 minutes to post, if that.  That’s a LOT faster than with my oldy but goody iWeb.

I don’t have loads of time right now, so I’ll have to develop the site slowly. Please forgive the ugly/generic theme for the time being.  I can prescribe anti-nausea medication if you need it! (Where do I find emoticons?  Jeesh, I have a lot to learn.)
