5 New Domain Names Purchased

I bought 5 new domain names through GoDaddy this past Friday.  My goal is to set up static sites on 3 of them.

It’s a little overwhelming to think of all the work that will go into such an effort, and I’m already fantasizing about paying for content to save me from writing it all.  Even though I’m using WordPress as the content management system (CMS), I must remember that I’m not trying to create and develop new blogs.  It feels like a full time job managing 3, let alone 6.

Making the switch in my mind is harder than I thought.  I spent Friday night shopping for a new WordPress theme, settling on the popular (premium) Lifestyle by StudioPress.  Part of me thinks I should’ve used a free theme, but on the other hand, if I’m going to set this site up properly, to make money, then leave it unattended, I want to make sure it looks good from the start. Buying Gazette by Woo Themes for GoBackpacking was my first venture into premium themes, and I’ve been very satisfied with the support and design so far.

Like Woo, StudioPress (formerly Revolution) is well-regarded and popular in the theme design arena, and a company I looked at previously.  I really like the way Nomadic Matt customized the Corporate theme for his travel blog.

To sum up, I spent the weekend buying domains, a new theme, and getting a new site set up for the first time in 8 months.
