Hooked On Golf Blog

Bye bye blogger/blogspot

This is the first post in my new domain here at Hooked On Golf Blog. Since the beginning I’ve been using the free service at blogspot and the blogger software. This served me fine for a while, but my blog is growing fast. I’ve been feeling growing pains and having some formatting & display issues.

Now I’m no longer tied to blogger. I have my own domain and hosting now. I’ve been able to use much better blogging software and hopefully the interface and features will be much better. I also anticipate better speed and performance as well.

My new server also has TONS of other capabillities and scripts that I’ll be able to use to make the experience here even better. For now, I’m just working on the design and basics of the blog. More features will be coming soon.

Unfortunately during the conversion process, the comments from the old posts didn’t make the transition. They will still be at the old location.

Please feel free to contact me with suggestions and opinions, good or bad.

What? No more lime green text on olive green background with flourecent green borders?

Your new HOGB logo is awesome – Nice job and as MJ said; congrats on the move!

Thanks! I’m very surprised at the reaction to the logo. That was a 5 minute photoshop job for the hell of it. Guess I’ll leave it!

I am finding that WordPress does rock. It is SO much easier than MT or blogger. The best word I can think of for it is “elegant.”
