Thank you Sarah at One Starry Night!

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.
