As promised in my previous post, The
Next Phase Blog Hits 5,000 Page Views,
I have moved it from BlogSpot to WordPress. The move is designed to make the blog more
flexible and visible. You should notice
no difference in access. If you click on
the old Blogspot URL, you will be redirected to the new site
automagically.

This change was accomplished only with the help and unfailing good
cheer of my friend and Web expert, Jon Rider, founder and principal of JetStream Consulting. If you want to build a web site, convert a
blog, fix a problem or get an expert analysis of your website’s SEO quotient, I
recommend Jon and JetStream Consulting highly.
Jon advised me on how to start the process and work with GoDaddy to cget a domain name reate the site
that houses my blog. He also wrote WordPress
code, created the page design and TNP logo, solved problems, moved all my previous
100+ BlogSpot posts to WordPress and held my hand when I was confused—which
happened more often than I’d hoped. Once
again, Jon, thank you, thank you, thank you!
The Next Phase now has a newly designed site with added features.

| New Features |
The posts are all categorized with a list that appears on the left side
of the page. You can now view all the
posts about movies, for example, by clicking on the Movies category. The most recent post will appear and you
access the others by clicking on Prevous Posts at the bottom.
- There are new pages, one with my biography and another with contact information.
- An archive of posts by month gives you easy access.
- Social media buttons appear on the home page so you can post something easily on Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ or Twitter.
Still, I have more work to do.
The old posts carried over the BlogSpot code, which does not translate smoothly
in WordPress. So the older posts do not
look as polished as the new ones. Line spacing is inconsistent and pictures
don’t wrap with the text. I am fixing
these old posts one by one but it takes time to complete all of them.
In the meantime, I’ll be posting
new articles and hoping that you enjoy them. In the meantime, if you enjoy
reading The Next Phase, please help me to expand readership by sharing posts on
Facebook, retweeting my tweets about new posts, or sending an email to friends
who might enjoy a particular topic. Also, if you sign up to be a
blog member or connect on Google Friend Connect, you’ll receive notices
whenever a new post goes live.
And feel free to comment whenever
you want. I enjoy hearing from all my readers and will try to reply to
any post that opens a dialog.
Thank you all for reading The Next
Phase blog and for going on my journey along with me. I look forward to
more of the trip.
