At last…

Every month around this time for the past eight months, I try [and fail] to move this damn blog and several others to a new host. It’s all about saving money [I got the new host for $22 for the first year and the old one costs $25 per month] but I get so frustrated that I throw up my hands when another bill comes in for 25 bucks. If I can’t figure this out come April, I’ll be paying that much plus another $10 a month for the new host — because, of course, I’ve already got blogs on the new host that I dread having to move to the old one. What a mess.

I was about ready to give up again last night. The problem was that I couldn’t move my entries and comments from one WordPress blog on the old host to another one on the new host. This, despite numerous attempts by myself and other, more technically oriented folks to transfer the mySQL database, which is SUPPOSED to be all that’s necessary. Then I noticed that WP has a new update that allows exporting and importing entries and comments with a simple XML file. So I tried it without much hope — and it worked!

Which deserves a new design, don’t you think? Oh, yeah. It does.

Other things are going to be changing around here, too. I’m starting a little home craft business, making bags at the moment and later perhaps, toys and baby things. I’ve been having so. much. fun. buying fabric [it's the new crack!], zippers, charms for zipper pulls, and just sewing up a storm. I have about a dozen cute little zippered pouches made, and now I’m gearing up to start working on larger bags.

Sew exciting!
