Well, this is it. My last post until Monday 16th November.
As a lot of you will know (due to me banging on and on about it) I’m finally making the jump to self hosted. I know, I must be crazy.
I have debated it for a while, and I keep backing out because I know nothing about Word Press, and not much about HTML, programming or building a website. This time I’m not backing out.
When I started this blog, I went in completely blind. I had no idea what blogging entailed and had no idea about anything really. And here I am, 8 months later.
I have learned so much that I thought I would never learn. Because when it’s happening, you sink or swim, so I had to learn.
So I’m making the jump with the same attitude.
It’ll work because it has to. I will learn because I have to.
The worst thing that can happen (famous last words) is that I won’t be able to successfully import all of the posts from here. If that happens, I will cry. Seriously though, I’ve started from scratch once and I can do it again.
So I make the jump with an attitude of que sera sera. Part of me is terrified it goes horribly wrong, but the bigger part of me is so excited. It feels like the right time to make the jump.
So to everyone who has followed my journey so far, thank you, and I hope you will make the jump with me.
Prepare for a re-launch next Monday with a whole new design and lots to come. I’ll still be around on Twitter if anyone wants to say hello or send virtual wine 🙂
See you on the other side.
You can find me here: Twitter Bloglovin Pinterest and Instagram Please do stop by and say hi!
Yay, I'm sure all will go well. And we will be here waiting! So happy for your new beginnings!
Thank you Mary 🙂
Ooh, how exciting! I'll be watching and keeping my fingers crossed. I have started mulling over the possibility of going self hosted so I'll definitely follow you over and see how you're doing. Good luck!
Thank you 🙂 There will definitely be a post about it once its done!
Well, good luck! See you when you get back.
Thank you 🙂
Good luck! I think it will be well worth it 🙂
Thank you, I hope so! 🙂
Good luck with the move. I hope it all goes well!
I am too scared to make the jump. I don't understand WordPress at all.
Thank you 🙂 I don't either, but I figure if I make the jump I will have to learn it lol 🙂
Good luck Debbie! Check in if you need help…my hubby is really good and can try and assist a bit xx
Thank you Sarah, that's really nice of you 🙂 You'll probably hear from me about 15 times a day lol! x
Good luck Debbie! Check in if you need help…my hubby is really good and can try and assist a bit xx
Happy trails!!! Here's to your new beginning! *clink* 🙂
Oh I was exactly the same, I started completely blindly and still think I’m much the same now. However, I must be self hosted because I want to use plug ins and change my header – was it seemless? I have been put off by an early experience with one well known provider xx
It was nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be, and I am not a techy minded person at all 🙂 x
