Blog Don't Like Ugly | 3

So I have more-or-less figured out how the guts of Blogger works, and while it works pretty good for all intents and purposes, there are a few things that I am not too happy with. Actually, there is one thing that I am not too happy with: I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but custom domains only work with the the exact domain name. For example with this webpage, the custom domain name is "www.videodrome.tv," if you were to type "videodrome.tv" or "http://videodrome.tv" into the address bar, you will get a "Server Not Found Error 404" message. They URL has to be "http://www.videodrome.tv" This might not be a major deal for most people, but I would like to make sure that visitors to my page don't encounter any errors when trying to find it, especially not one as silly as this - not that I think may people visit this page or anything.

So anyways, I am planning on trading up to Wordpress in the coming weeks. As I do I will use my blog here on Blogger to keep track of everything, for myself and anyone else who might find it useful.

To start here are a few great Wordpress resources:

  1. Installing Wordpress locally (on a Mac).
  2. The Famous 5 Minute Install.
  3. Theme Development.
  4. Web Design from Scratch.
  5. Design Resources.
  6. 50 Beautiful CSS-based Designs.
  7. Digg results for Wordpress.
