Living in Kokomo is Moving!

UPDATE: We have moved >>>

http://www.liveinkokomo.com/

Moving If you have visited Living In Kokomo in the past, you're probably wondering why I haven't posted anything here in a while. Well, the reason is...

This site is moving!

A while back I decided I wanted to try to combine this site with my other site, At Home In Kokomo.

As I tried different things using this TypePad platform, I couldn't do what I wanted to do. I didn't know whether the problem was the platform or my "lack" of skills. I eventually hired a consultant to help me sort through the everything and help me decide my next step.

Ultimately I came to the conclusion I needed to move to the WordPress platform.

Since mid-February I have been trying to get this project off the ground! It has been a challenge! A very steep learning curve - to say the least!

It seems that I'd take one or two baby-steps forward and then go backwards a block or two! I had to do some practicing on a "stock" WordPress theme, just to get an idea of how to use WordPress. (If you don't know what a theme is, don't worry. I didn't know what one was a month ago either.)

Then I bought a theme that I thought would be perfect for what I wanted to accomplish. The theme may be perfect, but after a week, I gave up on it! Between my lack of knowledge and the lack of support from the vendor, I used their 30-day return policy to get back my money!

On to theme three - and that is where I've been for the past couple of weeks! I am learning something new everyday. And the support from ithemes is absolutely fantastic - even for a newbie like me!

Almost everything you find on this site has already been moved over to the new site. There are a lot of things that still need to be done:

  • cleaning up some formatting issues
  • getting all the images and pictures on WordPress
  • checking all the links making sure they go where they are supposed to go
  • etc, etc, etc

The major change will be when you visit LivingInKokomo.com and go directly to the new site!

Hang in there with me during this moving process!

You won't be disappointed!

Here's a sampling of some of the new features:

  • List of Foreclosures
  • Find Homes by Price
  • Home Alerts
  • Horse Properties
  • Neighborhood Watch

That's it for now. I just wanted you to know I haven't disappeared! I haven't quit real estate and I haven't been on vacation. Just very busy with "doing" real estate and "doing" website work.

PS - Be sure to visit At Home In Kokomo!
