Before I take off on this adventure, I want to say thank you to three guys who helped me get this site up and running!
I’ve had journals or blogs in the past, but I knew I wanted something new for this experience — particularly, my own domain. The only problem was knowing where to get started. For someone who hasn’t used computers for more than work needs for years, I found myself way behind the pack. Thankfully I have friends who are both savvy and kind enough to help a girl out 
Evan, aka “Nave”
As I was registering the domain, Nave offered some tips on things I may way to add on and/or look out for. He also read a first draft of the About Me section and has answered more questions than I can think of :-). He’s one of my best friends and nothing short of a rock star.
Dave
Dave was a tremendous help when it came to helping me sort out WordPress and self-host the site. Above all, he has been the plugin MASTER, as I failed to figure out how to get most of the recommended ones running correctly O:-). He definitely gets a patience award for that one.
Check out Dave’s iPhone app, SumSushi.
And last but not least, Chris of The Aussie Nomad offered some help on the theme as I was getting started. As Chris uses the exact same one and has an IT background, I figured he’d know a thing or two ;-). Chris is a fellow career breaker who just left Australia a couple of weeks ago to begin his European adventure. Hopefully he’ll meet Dave and the other Londoners soon!
I appreciate your help, guys!
Twitter Updates
Thanks for the shout out mate and I’m always happy to help out a fellow traveller.
I really can’t wait for you to get to Australia and start living the dream so to speak
Glad I could help! Good luck on your travels. I look forward to keeping up with your adventures on your shiny new blog!
Awesome to have that help
Wishing you a safe journey to Oz!
You are so lucky to have some people to help you out! Its much better than squandering around in the dark. Believe me, I know lol. If you have any questions, I can try to help out as best as I can!
I’m definitely blessed to know these 3 guys
Thanks Erica!
I struggled so much to get mine started. At first I was like ‘what is html?’ Through lots and lots of trial and error situations as well as posting to forums when I majorly screwed up, I’ve managed to get by. But yes, you are very lucky to have IT friends
And Chris just might regret you mentioning him in this post, because now I’ll have to bug him when I need help!
I *love* your site and have from the moment I first saw it. Hopefully I told you that too
And I’m sure Chris wouldn’t mind lending another helping hand
