This post is in response to my friend Paul Strikwerda’s request. He wanted to know what steps I took to move as well as revamp my blog… making it faster, stronger… and prettier.
The Previous Setup
I registered with a voice over casting site called Voiceover-casting.com
With the free account you get a blog and 5 megabytes of space.
After a few successful posts I bought more storage space and decided to purchase the domain www.voiceemporium.com
Their blog system used a server software called buddypress… a derivative of the popular wordpress system.
In the first few months I taught myself how to use the wordpress system and went online to read a few tutorials as well as got some help from a wordpress developer friend of mine.
Welcome to the first article on my new revamped and revitalized blog Taji’s Voice Emporium. There are a few new features so take a look around and if you get a chance send me an email or leave a comment and tell me what you think of the new layout.
For the first post in the new location I have decided to interview one of the most recognized voices in the English speaking world. You might not necissarily be a big fan yourself but I’m pretty sure that someone in your house was pretty addicted to his voice and in turn his show for a few years.
In fact my 2 year old daughter is watching one of his episodes as I type this. He’s done a duet with Dolly Parton and his current job has taken him all around the globe .
