Changes Afoot
I’m working on migrating my blog over to another format: Blogger.com. I’m been wrestling with the decision because I have this problem with loyalty- I form it, I think, way too easily, sometimes to the point of ridiculousness. I mean, I’ve been using this WordPress blog for less than a month. I don’t have a personal relationship with it, or anyone who works for WordPress. And yet, I have this achey little feeling of guilt for even thinking about abandoning my pretty little WordPress blog. Silly, I know.
But, I am going to do it, despite how much I love the “Dusk” theme here, and the fact that ‘xmasallyear’ was taken at Blogger (I chose it rather arbitrarily, but it’s grown on me. I sure do love all things Christmas). Blogger gives you a lot more freedom to add widgets and extras, and I want to play with them. So, in the next few days, I should be finishing up migrating everything over. I’m going to have to do it the old fashioned ‘cut-and-paste’ way because Blogger won’t let you import a blog from WordPress. Hopefully, it will go smoothly and not be a big pain.
My new blog is located at: www.mypenrunnethover.blogspot.com
So bookmark that cause it will be taking the place of this one before too long!
Anyone else struggle with the choice of blog platform, or is that just me?

I definitely struggled, but I enjoy blogger. I read a lot of cooking blogs, and they all use blogger. Sure, there are issues sometimes, but all in all, I really like it. I feel like it’s the standard in personal blogging.
Yay, I will put you in my links! I meant to do it for this one and then forgot. I’ll start afresh with your blogger!

Ironically, I’ve been playing with the idea of moving my blog from Blogger to WordPress! I like the templates offered on WordPress, but after reading your post, I realize that I’ve been having far too much fun adding widgets, right, left & center. Blogger allows you to make changes, without a lot of fuss & bother. For example, I recently changed my theme, and added a new header. It took me about five minutes, and I didn’t lose any of the widgets I’ve been zealously collecting over the past six months!
I’ve bookmarked your new blog and look forward to reading it!
