I will let you judge for yourselves, those of you who have visited before, whether the resulting transformation is good or not…

Last Friday, by no means on impulse, I decided to switch this blog from Blogger to WordPress and by Tuesday night, having taken advantage of the offer by my chosen host – Bluehost, to transfer the site for free, I was up and running. I had felt some guilt about going down this free transfer route, feeling that I would know the product better if I did it myself, but as it happens, there is still plenty to learn once the site is up and running! You do have copious amounts of assistance – blogs, videos, support groups as well as customer assistance…
If you have come from an old link, then you have been sucessfully re-directed – yayyy! You will notice the new photo banner – one I took pre-lockdown in Leeds Market and which I hope signals the Pic’n Mix nature of this blog…
What I like immediately, is that the editor – known as Gutenberg – makes a lot of things automated which you had to do manually in Blogger. For example, the quote at the top of this post is a block – a WordPress “thing” which is easy to do and to repeat consistently. One thing I don’t like is that you can’t change the font – I like Verdana which was especially designed to be read on screens.
If anyone has any tips – feel free to comment…
