Bidi’s World

Welcome to the new and improved Bidi’s World.

I decided to make the move to WordPress. I’ve been using it quite extensively over on my podcast site and have fallen in love with it. I’m also planning on adding a podcast to this blog which should be interesting. I haven’t got any dates set for that though.

In addition to the system change I’ve done a complete overhaul on the theme. I think the new theme is easier to read than the old one but still looks pretty sharp. Be sure to let me know what you think.

I’ve still got a few things to do in order to completely restore functionality to the site but I think we are mostly there. There are a few tweeks I’d like to do to the theme still as well.

Well, I’m trying desperately to get another episode of JD’s Musical Alchemy recorded but it’s been one delay after the next. At this point I’m two weeks behind on my schedule. The problem has been getting quiet time for recording. To make matters worse I’ve got a PC down today that needs attending to.

I’ve been working very diligently on a redesign of my podcast over the past month and have finally finished it. I’m quite pleased with the results which you can see by visiting JD’s Musical Alchemy. The new site uses WordPress for it’s blog and PodPress for the podcast.

The result is a very easy to manage blog and podcast. I’m hoping to be able to use this new design to do more blogging on Indie music as well as related things going on around the internet.

I’ve been considering changing my blogging software for this blog to use the same setup. I’d be curious if anyone has any opinions on the subject. I’m also considering a new skin for the site too. I haven’t been all together happy with the design now that I’ve had a chance to use it a bit longer.

Stop by and leave a comment. I’d love to hear what you all think.

I’ve noticed allot of blogs I’ve been hitting recently using MyBlogLog. It’s a neat idea. It extends a community like service for blogs and websites. When MyBlogLog users visit a site they can see what other MyBlogLog users have been visiting the site. This can then be an avenue to finding other sites that people with similar interests participate in.

It looks kind of fun so I’ve added it to my blog here. We’ll see how it goes. I’ll also look into seeing if it will extend to my tumblr page.

Now that I’ve had a chance to really examine Tumblr I’ve decided I really like it. I added a new address to bidiworld to get to it. You can now find my Tumblr at http://tumblr.bidiworld.net/. There will be additional content there that you may find interesting that won’t make my blog.

If you decide to use it, do me a favor and leave me a comment here on the blog to let me know what you think.

Just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a happy new year. I recorded a short bonus episode of JD’s Musical Alchemy to ring in the new year.

Have a safe an happy new year.
