Happy Wednesday! Well, this blog has moved. If you typically access this blog from the tab on my website, I have not yet updated the navigation. Please bookmark our new address. Although I have talked about this move for quite some time, the execution has not gone as planned. Thank goodness for MERRY tips! The move and brand new design were to happen simultaneously. However, I could not bear the frustrations any longer, so last night I picked up and moved (with help from my awesome web host!).
So, no Men with Pens pretty custom design (yet) but commenting will be easier and I will have comment luv (yippee). I was so excited last night I woke up at 3 am and watched the news! Yea, bad idea, but the 3 am ABC news is very interesting, kind of BBC mixed with Good Morning America mixed with carnival. Hmm, this could explain the later dreams about Bette Midler.
I’ll be back tomorrow to hit you with the happy stick in the blog’s new space. I’ll be sure to update you on how to keep subscribing too, one of the many things that must be figured out today.
Have an awesome day and if you’ve got wordpress tips, I’m sure to be asking lots of questions on Twitter or Plurk today!
Peace and love,
Karen

Looking good, Lady! I think your plan has great merit – move in, get a feel for the place, THEN decorate! Works well with any new home, real or virtual.
And if you need any help, well, I wish I could tell you to call me. Alas, it would probably be a waste of time. I’m still only barely conversant in the technical details. 🙁
But I’ll be rootin’ for ya – how’s that?

@Jamie, thank you so much for all of your help! I downloaded and forgot to install it, so thank you. I think my brain is fried today, but tomorrow. Your help has been invaluable, teaching me how to write and how to work this darn thing. 🙂

As you may all note, I am learning how to answer comments. LOL! I am dancing with glee that my website and blog are now living in wedded bliss and with comment luv to boot, makes me swoon with happiness!
@Amy, I have missed you! Good luck on the thesis, I’m rooting for you. Big giant hugs right back! xxoo
@Wendi and @Joanna, thank you both! I updated the feed and tested it, no action required from readers. How cool is that! 🙂
@Robyn, thank you! My awesome new design will be unveiled in July, not in time for fireworks but we may still do sparklers. 🙂
@Brad, thank you so much. May I offer you coffee? Tea?
Thanks everyone for the awesome welcome. Tomorrow, I’ll be around the neighborhood knocking on your doors saying “Hello.” 🙂

Loraleigh, ROFL! I’m so glad the party is over! You have a fresh, powerful voice even when you’re down. Glad to offer support, and it’s available at any time! 🙂
Loraleigh Vance says
I’m really looking forward to you hitting me with the happy stick some more.
You sure did a great job last time.
So much so that I’m now returning the decorations for the pity party that I borrowed from you.
Thanks again!

If your readers just go to the search bar at the top they’ll see the RSS button – it’s automatically set up for you, you can grab the feed from there.
Congrats Karen! Let me know if I can help with anything
wendikelly says
Ok, I went there and bookmarked it! Yeah!!! couldn’t figure out how to subscribe so let me know when I can so you can go back to being in my first thing in the morning google reader! For now, I’ll just keep the old one in and jump over each day from there!

Yay! Congratulations Karen 🙂
I haven’t made it over recently due to thesis deadlines, but I just had to head over here after reading your tweet concerning your move. Well done, and I wish you all the very best in your blog’s new home. I know how difficult and technologically tricky moving can be, so big hugs to you for your achievement!
Amy
