I have been wanting to switch from WordPress.COM to a self-hosted WordPress blog for over a year now. It seemed like such a daunting task and I just didn’t have the time or energy to do it.
Well the 31 Days to Better Blogging challenge I am doing, made me realize if I really want to do certain things with my blog I NEED to make the switch.
It was actually a good week to do it, my big boys are at camp all day and Thing 3 has been having playdates galore! SO I started making the switch.
It should have been fast and easy. A 5 minute install, was more like a 4 hour install, then trying to import became a 3 hour nightmare and I was about to give up, when a girl from SITS, a great online support for bloggers, told me about Sarah.
I e-mailed her Thursday night in desperation. She e-mailed me back with a price and asking for some information and I sent it over and put it in her capable hands. I think it was much trickier than she had anticipated (because of certain issues with my hosting company), however she persevered and she DID it!
I am in awe and so glad.
Now I just have to figure out how to get all my readers to transfer to my new blog. I don’t want to lose anyone who subscribes.
She also designed this new site! How do you like it? I LOVE it! It looks great and I love that it is similar to my main site.
