Sooooooo…  How do you like being here?

That header up there has been in my wish list for so long already — a website with a flash header. A year ago, I wrote in one of my journals how I would want my photo website to look like. It has to be yellow, with lots of brown, and some whites. And then a flash header that’d show the lovely couples, kids, and families I photographed.

So here it is!

It wasn’t easy coming here. I tried signing up for a web host with www.bluehost .com a few weeks back. When I checked the amount for a two-year hosting contract, I gasped and hurriedly emailed them that I wanted a refund. I didn’t quite understand why purchasing a web host and a Prophoto blog could be so darn expensive.

So today, I signed up again. I carefully watched all the video tutorials on how to make a personalized Prophoto blog. I’m so lazy when it comes to tutorials and reading step by step instructions. I like everything fast. Swift! But there are just some things in this world that needs a lot of research and some trying here and there. I also made use of the live chat for HELP.  So far the people at www.bluehost.com did an excellent job coaching me.

I will surely miss Blogger and Wix. I’ve labored long and hard for those two sites.  It has served me well.  There were nights when I stayed up late just to learn how to tweak my site’s look. Blogger offers very few options for photo blogs, while Wix on the other hand, loads really slow. At times I tell myself, “This will do!” But you know that voice at the back of your head that will answer you back, “You can do better than that!”

Better is here. Welcome to my new home. To kick start, I give you two photos from last weekend’s adventure with a beautiful family.  We went to an island somewhere near Palompon Leyte.  More of that in July.  Grazi!
