Welcome to new Gifted Typist
Cats: odd things|The typist has packed up the old typewriter and moved to a new stenopool.
The new Gifted Typist has been up and running for about a month now, but it’s been in “beta” which is just a geeky word for “I haven’t worked it all out yet.” The blog is now hosted on its own site as opposed to a Google Blogspot. I’m using the new -fangled K2 template on in WordPress, which is a darling of the blog world. It’s been a steep learning curve - K2 being an apt metaphor - but I have reached the summit, with a few scrapes and bruises acquired along the way.
I will keep the old Blogspot up for archive purposes and may link back to it from here but I won’t be adding new posts to the Blogspot.
It’s still officially in Beta. (You know, once you reach the summit, you have to figure out a way down again in order to successfully complete you expedition.)
So here we go. Let me know what you think. All comments and advice is welcome.
Keep coming back.

So far so good GT! I’ve overwritten your new website over your old blogspot on my favourites so there’s no going back now.
Good luck with the new site — I just finished up a four-day short course on web design and innovation and I find it tough stuff.
Any significance to the two yellow flowers or am I reading too much into all of it? Exciting day in the steno pool — have fun with it!

Looks great - the only part I’m unsure of is the tagline - whether it should straddle the bleck/white divide, or just be white type wholly on the black background.
Congrats on K2 - now for the rest of the second highest summits - a much tougher challenge than the highest on each continent apparently.

Congrats on new home :). Looks great … worked with wp a while ago, didn’t know about k2. neat.

Thanks Mamad. K2 is the next generation the famous WP Kubrick template. It has more press-and-go features making it easier for N00bs like moi. That said, I still haven’t worked everything out, like how to edit .css.
