Change - It's a Good Thing - New Blog Address

For the longest time I've been utterly frustrated with Blogger.  I have issues uploading photo's, attaching video's etc - it's been so frustrating that I stopped posting.

I miss writing though, I miss the chronological order of training posts, and a place to store training video's etc.  So I decided to move to WordPress.  

I've tried adding the code to have my blogger address simply re-direct to my Wordpress URL but that was a frustrating failure too - Blogger's fault as their underlying HTML/XML is not standard.

For WordPress blog I had to buy a domain name.  So thought, what better time to put the cart before horse and come up with farm name, for my future farm.  My logic is that the Wordpress blog will simply transition into my future farm's website - no more expense, no multiple sites to maintain and update etc.

So if everyone that currently follows me would please add the following URL to your "Blogs I Follow" list I would be greatly appreciative.

It's fairly basic layout at the moment a it's still in it's infancy but all my previous posts and comments are there.

Sometime today I will post on how I picked that as my farm name. It has major sentimental meaning to my husband and I.

Thanks Everyone!!!

  4. You should try using Windows Live Writer for composing posts. I haven't used Blogger for composing posts and uploading photos or videos in over 2 years. Windows Live Writer is on your computer so you don't even have to be online, but after you've composed your blog post, Windows Live Writer just uploads it all to Blogger simply, quickly easily. No issues at all.
    I'm sorry you're going to WordPress, though. I have had problems leaving comments on Word Press posts, so I don't even visit any blogs at WordPress anymore. I'm sorry. But I'll try to keep in touch through Facebook instead.
