So they loaded up the truck…….

Well, I decided to move to WordPress and it’s gonna be more of a Klampett-style move.   Jed pulled up his truck and loaded me and all my posts up….but we seem to have lost Jethro and Granny in the chaos.   Pardon the mess and the random things flying overboard and hopefully in a few days you’ll feel right at home.   The links may not work,  the comments may not migrate and we will all bump into things as we find our way around.   I think when all is said and done, you’ll love the new site.    Darcy has been holding my hand all day and we’re both gonna cross our fingers that nothing explodes when I push the  button to import my blog to this new site.   I feel like I’m in charge of  secrets at the FAA or something.    I’m like Jack Bauer meets Jed Klampett.   People with my lack of computer skillz should not be allowed ‘under the hood’ like this.   So, without further adieu………..{maybe I should say some magic words}

p.s.  I’ve got Granny’s rifle in case anything goes wrong!

I’ll explain all about why I moved to wordpress later but Darcy recently wrote a post on it if you’re considering it. Here’s one big reason I moved. Big photos!

Hey! Love that you’re moving to wordpress, too. I like it a lot better then blogspot, i hope you do too. and if it makes you feel better, my move and set up at my .com/wordpress was like me doing your brain surgery BLINDFOLDED, i’m that poorly skilled technologically. and i never could figure out how to put an automatic redirect on my old blog over to my new one….hmmmm…wish one of you advanced bloggers would post a tutorial on that and some of the other tricks you have to help us ameteurs out! anyways, good luck with the move (then again, i don’t believe in luck so…may the hand of Providence guide you)!

RhondaJanuary 13, 2010 - 1:30 pm

Gina WilliamsJanuary 13, 2010 - 2:28 pm

AmyJanuary 13, 2010 - 3:33 pm

Here is a link to the tutorial that I learned how to make my photos larger in my posts:
http://memoriesoncloverlane.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-to-make-your-photos-appear-bigger.html
I’m trying to take and post a pic a day in 2010, so I’m using this a lot. And, it’s EASY!!!

It may be too little- too late, but I thought I’d share! I love the new site! Good luck!!!

Julie HarwardJanuary 13, 2010 - 5:45 pm
