So, for a while now I’ve been a bit disappointed with the overall statistics and theme/look-and-feel/widget-control with a blog hosted on wordpress.com (even though FREE is a very good price).

After quite a bit of thought, and research, and poking the tires, AND testing stuff out…

…I’d like to present to you Prince Charming is Dead v2.0!

I’m MUCH happier with the layout, theme, inline audio player, file control and overall beauty of the system.  While wordpress.com was fun to cut my teeth on, I’m definitely ready for the opportunities that having my own hosted site presents.

I’ll go over what those additional features will be in the near future (think audio blogs, more images, some examples of my writing “for pay”, etc…) so stay tuned.

For now, if you don’t mind, please click over, kick the tires and tell me if you HATE it or if it’s gonna be OK.

I’m planning on redirecting deadcharming.wordpress.com (so everyone’s existing feeds, links, etc. will continue to work with NO effort or visible change) on Friday, Aug. 15th.

I wish I could say that’s because I’m waiting until the weekend so that the least amount of traffic gets disrupted, but let’s be honest, Friday is payday and I’m not buying credits until then.  Sad, I know.

So what does all this mean?  it means stuff will look different and that’s it.  deadcharming.wordpress.com will be here, the links will be here, the comments will be here, nothing is changing except the place that it’s hosted and the way that it looks (hopefully both for the better).
