I’ve been blogging for four and a half years now, and it’s time for a change. It’s been no secret that I’ve had problems with Blogger. There were the issues with leaving comments. Difficulty making posts appear in published form as they did in the draft stage. And most recently, a weird arrangement of words spread across posts willy-nilly, truncated at the end of lines as if hyphenated — but without hyphens. Blogger has been a good place to start, but it’s time for me to move on.
After a holiday blog break (December 23-January 3), I’ll return to Blogger for another month. Come February I’ll be elsewhere!
In the weeks ahead, the incredible Erin and Phil Ulrich at Design by Insight will give both my blog and website a complete overhaul. Why am I doing this? Here are a few reasons:
- I’m ready for a blogging platform that looks more professional and allows me more control.
- I’d like the ability to update my website on my own, rather than sending information to my web designer to update several times a year.
- I’d like my blog and website in one place.
- I’m ready for a fresh look.
I’ll try to follow you there!
Thanks, Matt!
Sounds like a great change because I’ve had trouble commenting. I’ll follow you when you move. Happy Holidays!
Good to hear.
Already thinking….. 🙂
Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Sounds like you have a lot to look forward to in 2014! Have a lovely holidays.
Thanks, Becky. I’m excited about what’s ahead. My author copies of the paperback arrived yesterday, and they’re just beautiful.
Merry Christmas to you!
Courage and Hope, great themes. I’ll look forward to your exciting offer and blog move. I am going to ask my students to respond as well. I’ll have them respond on our class blog. Have a great break. See you in January!
