The Beginning of The End

This post was originally posted at my old blogger account… it now lives in my new, wonderous, wordpress blog! :-)

*********************************************** 

I am currently in HATE with Blogger.

I think it’s time to begin my move away from here. I’m feeling particularly whiny and upset about losing my linky love that I’ve built over the past 3 months. Maybe when I move, all of you cool and groovy cats who have linkied me will be so fine that you’ll change your linkies to suit my new address.

Just maybe you will.

A girl can dream.

  • Hmmn. All of this blogger hating everywhere I stop by is making me curious about what else is out there. Am I in the slow class???

    I had said when my blog hits exceed 50 a day, then I wil pay for a hosting site.

    The only think I’ve had a problem with lately is not getting my comments.

    About a year ago, I was hainv such a hard time with trying to keep up two blogs that I had. Apparently, they though it was BAD if you had two blogs.

    As long as you’re not going to LJ, MySpace or Xanga, I won’t abandon the linky! :)

    Self-hosting is the way to go. I mean, no limitations other than the ones you set yourself.

    It’s always more fun that way.

    This is my calling card or link“Whittereronautism”until blogger comments get themselves sorted out.

    If you get 50 hits a day, BlogHer ads should easily pay for your hosting.
    I gotta say I’m liking WordPress. A lot. I found blogger so frustrating, I abandoned it. I just started my blog the first of November. WP is easy to work with, and I have a pretty rotating blogroll, so that everyone gets a display in their turn. Can’t do that with blogger!
    Love, witchypoo

    I have like 3 or 4 blank websites. I’d be willing to sell, if need be. We can talk further on the matter if need be. I’m an advocate of WP, myself.

    blogger is freezing up, links dont work , photos are screwed up and dont get me started on Google Reader-which is locking up my computer every time. ANd before with blogger, I logged in once and said remember me and not it prompts me every time I refresh the page to log in again. GGGGGRRRRRR-like now.

    I’m already looking into moving myself!! I’ll be happy to change my linky love to whereever you go!!! I just made a blogroll, but I’ll be happy to update it :D

    Oh, I fogot to mention, I am thinking of doing the same thing. Only I don’t know how to go about it yet.

    I LOVE me some Typepad, honey. And if you sign-up for their pro account, you can have multiple blogs (I run four through MommyMatter.com and the one at TheOnlyThingIKnow.com) and the design possibilities are endless. :)

    Yes, well I tried to add HaloScan yesterday, to make it a little bit easier for my readers. The good news is, it’s on, and it works fine, or so it seems now.
    ButI lost all of my comments while doing that! Aaaatrrrgggggh!!! That was sooooooooo frustrating! I have been copy-pasting them back on again, and now I’ll just have to wait and see what the future will bring me! Well I only just started it two weeks ago, so I guess I am the lucky one.
    Imagine loosing two years of comments!!!
    Anyway, I came to get the link for Weekly Winners, I still have to add it to my blog properly! See you soon!

    I’ll follow…where you land. I heart WP.

    I noticed this the other day when I was unable to post my blog address on Blogger sites. Now, there’s at least a reason I’m not going crazy…yet. I *almost* signed up for a Google account, but already have a blog at WordPress. You’re too funny not to follow wherever you go :)

    I’ve started to make the move to wordpress…although I don’t know what I’m doing and accidentally imported everything from my two blogs onto one. I think I may have to restart the process.

    I’ll find you wherever you go if you update me too! ;-)

    I will if you will! I’m almost ready to unveil my wordpress site. It’s not quite as intuitive, but I’m loving it so far.

    Have any idea where you’ll move to?

    Blogspot is good if you like to do advanced editing and such. But, I agree with you: If I have comments from people, I like to have links so I can pay back the visit!!

    December 7, 2007
  • I’m moving too! I’m checking out WP– and I kind of like it. A lot.

    So glad I’m not the only one contemplating the move from blogger. I wish I had advice. Instead I’ll just be watching to see how you do it. :)

    Hmmm….I am a big Google fan but… I dumped Blogger ( WordPress is great ) a few years ago and I have not regretted it.

    December 7, 2007
  • What am I missing here? I’m not sure what the problems are. Someone enlighten me!

    I have been messing with wordpress all day. But after spending 3 years figuring out my blogger blog I only see a very rocky road ahead and feel safe here. I need everything put in black and white.

    I’ll follow/ stalk, don’t you worry!

    WordPress is where the cool kids play. You should go there. I’m a subscriber – I’ll keep up wherever you go.

    Yeah, it’s gonna hurt when you do (I know cos I’ve just made the move myself) but you’ll be glad once you’ve done it. Are you considering going self hosted at the same time?

    I was FINALLY getting somewhere with my poor technorati and then went back to zero. Oh well….I’m in LOVE with my new blog so it’s all good. :-)

    Nah! Too much trouble. I mean, type in the new URL, copy, paste in the reader… That sounds like a lot of work. I can’t be bothered with all that!
