We Have Moved! YAY!!! – Please Update RSS & Links!

Loving the new look!

The new blog looks great and my feed reader is updated.

Thanks Natasha and Sharon!

I’m still tweaking appearances. I’m not entirely convinced about the purple background. It matches the links colors but I don’t know. My professional mind says things should be white. lol I’m hoping a logo at the top of the page will help. Still tweaking, any suggestions and comments Re: the design are very, VERY welcome.

The Top Five Commenters WILL all be linking soon. I have to manually go in and update comments to include your URLs and emails. Those things don’t port over from google.

There are a couple of other kinks I’m still figuring out. Like how to allow users to subscribe to comments and how to make sure I’m getting notified of them (since for some reason I’m not right now). As always, teething issues with a new site. It’s times like this I’m thankful for my tech savvy. I’ve been scrolling through php scripts and mysql databases for the last two days. lol

*ponders* Ok, I think I pulled together the subscribe feature and got my notifications working. Let me know if you have any problems with any of the features on the site.

Congratulations, Rebecca! You’re doing a great job Can’t wait to see how Writer’s Round About grows and learn more from your awesome, tech savvy, writing mind!

Smiles,
Michele

Thanks Michele!

Let me know if there is anything you need help with learning on the ‘tech savvy’ front. I’m happy to share knowledge and help out if I can. Porting the old blog to the new one was a much bigger experience then I’d originally planned but the features of Wordpress and the additional control it offers makes the few days turmoil worth it. This is the sort of work I really love (along with writing) too. I wish I got more commission work that involved web aspects.

Congrats on your new URL!

Thanks Melissa! And double thanks to you because it was your blog that prompted me to push ahead with getting the domain name working.

Congrats on the move! I know it must have been nerve-wracking…but it looks great!!

Thanks Courtney!

Congratulations, Rebecca. I did the same thing a few months ago. You’re on my RSS reader (I use My Yahoo) so I got the message right away. Who would have thought we would have to do so much web technology to keep in touch with readers.

Best wishes,

Thanks Jerry! I have to admit I was concerned that the changes might have lost a few readers along the way but with forwarding my old blog to the new one and setting up these links so they ’should’ match the old ones I was hoping to catch as many old links just incase they don’t get updated by whoever created them.

My next job is to go over all my old entries and update my links etc. to make sure they are all still working. I’ve noticed a few dead ones already. Then after that I was thinking about digging about on the web for any trackbacks and notifying the site/blog owners of the change so they can choose to update their links too.

It’s a big job but ultimately worth it. I’m just glad I’m doing it now rather than in a few months time when links are more prolific and posts more numerous.
