I buckled.
It started a few months ago with Stephen Hopson from Adversity University. He began to encourage me to move to WordPress. I actually transferred the blog over to WordPress months ago, but then chickened out. Blogger was too comfortable and the control panel over at WordPress made my eyes cross.
Then Wendy Piersall from Sparkplugging (you may know her as Emom) told me, “You need to get your blog off Blogger and over to WordPress so you can do more with it.”
Yeah, that was burning in the back of my mind for a while.
Then at SOBCon ’08, one of my “business plan” goals was to do it. Take the leap. Move the blog. I selected Top Hosting Center to park my blog (great service, and they donated funds for interpreters for the SOBCon!). But first, I told myself, I gotta go to Hawaii. Gotta take care of my folks, ya know? No time for messing with plug-ins, themes or all that code stuff.
No sooner did I get back and then Glenda Watson Hyatt from I’ll Do It Myself Blog asked me when I was going to get rid of the kiddie blog.
Enough, already, you people! Just an hour ago, I finally settled on my theme and moved the blog over. I know, I know, I have a lot of work ahead of me to get the rest of the links up on there and figure out why some of my plug-ins aren’t loading up. (Lorelle, babe, come back!) There have been several people who’ve kindly tried to help me take the training wheels off and fly solo with WordPress. Thanks to Meryl, Stephen, Glenda and Michelle for all the advice and encouragement!
I’m calling it a day and going to unwind with the hubby and kiddos, some chocolate and TV! So enjoy the new template, because tomorrow I may mess it up.
