Finally made the switch from free WordPress.com
to self-hosted WordPress.org on January 18, 2013.
Just had to add this: For a few bucks, I was able to have the traffic rerouted from the old blog to the new. Not sure how that affects followers and subscribers, though. Learning as I go! It’s a little nerve wracking! LOL
There’s still some tinkering and decorating going on, and there will definitely be a few glitches,
but, please make yourselves at home.
All posts, images, videos and comments have been imported, so feel free to browse and leave a note.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but may I ask you to please re-follow and re-subscribe here and delete the old info?
I Will let you know if there’s an easier way. This is still largely unfamiliar territory.

ho deb sorry havent been for a while hope your well new space looks good xjen
hi deb hope your well space looking good xjen
Hi Jen; Glad you like the new space. So nice to see you here. 🙂 Happy New Year to you and thanks for visiting. I’ll be making the rounds again, soon. Cheers!
Am I stupid if I don’t see what the difference is? I’m glad you like it and that everything has gone smoothly though! I recently rebuilt my blog for reasons that have to do with my webhost, and after that I haven’t been receiving comment notifications by e-mail! No harm done, but I’m just so used to it! And especially now when I do receive a nice amount of comments, it’s handy. I went to the cpanel today and changed some settings, hopefully that will work.
Hi Susanne; Well, I tried to keep it as similar as possible. Put the content in the middle, instead of to one side, but, the MAJOR difference is my own domain on a self-hosted site. That gives me a lot more freedom and flexibility. More features too, like the “CommentLuv”. Hope you got your issue sorted out. Thanks for visiting and have a great week. Cheers!
Oh, that’s brilliant Debbie! Self-hosted is always the best. I didn’t realize it wasn’t your own domain before, but probably I just didn’t look enough! Good luck with your new site then!
Thanks, Susanne; It is quite the steep learning curve, but, slowly, it’s all coming together. 🙂
Hi Debbie, I’ve been playing catch-up…Love the dog pictures! Congratulations on your new site…so far, so good! (Good luck with it!) And finally, glad your dad gave you that computer! Happy Weekend.
Thank you, Loy. Sorry, am falling behind myself, what with the move, and all. Yes, My father had no idea how my world would change. LOL Have a great week! 🙂
Hi debbie
Congratulations on the move, you will find this much easier and you will be able to do so much more. If you need any help or advice please feel free to ask and I will help you any way I can 🙂
Have a great weekend
