Hey, everyone! Some of you might have noticed but I am no longer maintaining an old site that I don’t own. Sad but it was definitely for the best. Cheers to new beginnings, shall we? I have decided to set out on my own and built a new Cebu blog site for Cebu fashion and lifestyle - InstyleCebu.com.
What do you guys think? I could always have had the site done by a Washington DC web designer but so far opted for basic templates from WordPress developers. The site is open for suggestions and I would love to hear what you think. Technically, I had a huge help from SEO experts who are friends of mine who did the backend and what-end and was able to do all that in two weeks while juggling my social life and my job at the same time.
Has anyone of you started a website from scratch? I was almost ready to tear out my hair in frustration! Eventually, my cpanel has become my bestfriend and I think Fantastico should be the author to The Complete Idiot’s Guide to WordPress. There really isn’t that much out there and if you google how to set up your website in two weeks, you’d be lucky if you can manage to understand all that jargon just by reading the instructions. Some of you may have already done this a million times but to engineer this in a matter of days was overwhelming.
In this sense, installing and html-ing your way to a decent .com requires at least user flexibility and a thorough SEO analysis tool. It is hard to keep up with other local sites who also share your space at Google’s SERP (see, I’m talking like I’m from the moon here) and although it might take months to get back on track, this site is set to to take on the rest of Cebu.
To InstyleCebu readers, thank you for coming back.

I can relate. It is always best to do things on your own. You have more leverage that way.

I’m sure it was for the best. Some followers of the old site are going to miss you writing there.
