    Lulu's Laundry Blog WordPress custom design template
    I launched a new blog design yesterday, Lulu’s Laundry. After slaving over a hot umm…mouse all week, finishing up her blog actually inspired me to wash the bedding. Urgh. That’s not supposed to happen. But it did, and the sheets were clean and warm and cozy lastnight, and I have Lulu to thank.

    Lulu moved to her new domain from WordPress.com. She’s hosted with BlueHost and for the life of me – I would love to know why on earth they won’t allow their clients to have their own ding-dang favicon. It’s supposed to be there, but NooOOO, all I see is a stupid blue box thing. :grumble: I made one. I uploaded it, BlueHost. Leave her favicon alone!

    Did I say that out loud?! Wooops.

    So, Yes. She moved to her new domain, and I installed WordPress, of course, and then imported her posts and comments with WP’s cool export & import tool – then stocked her installation with fun plugins for stats and comments and headline images (oh my!). I also imported her blogroll, another fine feature of WordPress – so she’s got all of the features she’s used to, and then some.

    Lulu was also kind enough to really point out all the little details that make her design so special to her (and me, yes, me. It’s special to me, too. They all are.), go on over and have a look! Even her error page is cute, people. And the footer? heh –

    Wow, that’s a cute layout!Great job!

    Just so you know, if you rename the favicon you made to a different name, then upload it to blog site, you can then rename it favicon.ico and it should work. I had to do that with Host Monster. PITA, but it works so far.

    Here from Mrs. Lifecrousier who told us your gonna do a make over on her blog too! No wonder she wanted you to take care of it as your a wizard in both blogging and designing. Your work for Lulu is a great proof!

    Btw: I migrated to WP this summer too and with my own domain. The best move I’ve ever done in blogspere :beret:

    Wow guys, I’m at a loss for words. It was a fun design, I love having a bit of creative license with a blog design. That’s what makes it art to me!
