MONDAY WORK DAY

This whole transferring the blog over to my own domain has been an exercise of complete and utter blundering…and yet, things look relatively normal around here.  This is the perception I like to cultivate. 🙂

I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at how smoothly this transfer has gone.  It’s pretty easy to figure out this stuff if you’re willing to do a little reading and tense up your gray muscle every once in a while.  (Mine’s all balled up into a tight, rubbery knot in the center of my skull.)

But truly, the software is pretty easy.  I still don’t understand half of what I’m doing, but there ya go.  At least I got the dang word count dinosaur image reinstalled…no small feat.  And I’m trying to hold myself back from installing every cool plug-in I meet.  There’s so much fun stuff out there!

I’m going to try to blog in a little more organized and coherent manner in the upcoming days over this whole blog-to-domain transfer using extremely lay language (of which I am a native speaker) for those folks who might be entertaining a future move into self-hosted waters themselves.

But the list of website fixes is a mile long, and so I’m working my way slowly down the list in between the most important work:  writing.  I’m under deadline for my writer’s group, and if I don’t get this story in on time, I don’t get to wear my two-toed ninja shoes and I’ll have to share my ice cream.  Not this time, baby!  😉

    Congrats on the successful conversion!! It looks like it was seamless! 🙂 But now I don’t get updates of when you make a new post 🙁 Where’s the subscription option to your blog??

      Seamless? Hah! I’ve got Irish flags hanging all over the place and plug-ins I don’t know how to work…but thanks. 🙂 Don’t worry. I’m in the process of designing an email template, and I’ve transferred over the email subscriptions from the old site…so give me a week? and I’ll have that up and running. BTW, still got your pizza in the freezer. It’s waiting for another red wine occasion, methinks. 🙂
