Following the A2Z 2021 Challenge during which I visited a fair few blogs, I have decided to upgrade from Blogger to WordPress. I gradually realised that those sites on WordPress were more professional in terms of control of layout and features.
First point of confusion for me, I thought I already had a WordPress site but I soon learned that mine was not self-hosted wordpress.org but WordPress.com which, rather like Blogger, has limitations of it’s own. Don’t get me wrong, Blogger is and has been, excellent for me but I want to go just a bit further even though it means paying a price.
However one price I am assured that it will not cost, is you dear readers. I have opted for having the transition done for free by the backroom boys and girl – not because I couldn’t manage to follow the lengthy “how to” list, but because I have too much other work on at present but they assure me that current readers won’t even notice a difference except in terms of the new theme – and I hope I have picked one that looks and works similarly. Starting the process on a Friday evening has left it hanging till Monday so here I am still on dear old Blogger.
See you on the other side – fingers crossed…
P.S. If you are on Blogger and lamenting the withdrawal of Feedburner, Frederique shared this guide to alternative email subscriptions…
Tell us when you will move, I will follow. Thanks for the mention 😉
Hi Frederique – fully moved and the site tweaked (for now) – your original link will still redirect you…
How are you doing now the madness of April is finished?
Hi Frédérique, I know you were following some of my novel “Train Wreck” – included in the earlier posts in April, but I have now published another chapter and also links to all the reviews of sites that I wrote on the Road Trip so far plus quick links to all the AtoZ posts.
I have started a new project – knitting some mohair wool off a huge spool my sister gave me. I tried Tunisian crochet with it – hoping to make a dense fabric but it is so fluffy that I couldn’t see the holes to place the next stitch except by clasping a torch between my knees and back-lighting it lol. So I switched to knitting it but even then, I had to go to 1cm needles! Not sure what it will turn out to be yet…
Yours
Andrew
