Welcome to the new Charming, but single January 21, 2007
Posted by charmingbutsingle in Blog.trackback
I am excited to announce some changes at this here blog. This girl, she’s moving on up. To a deluxe blog with its own domain.
That’s right. I am now the proud owner of www.charmingbutsingle.com. Effective today, all future Charming, but Single knowledge will be dropped over there.
Why am I moving?
For a lot of reasons, really. I’ve wanted to take the blog to its own domain for a while now. I’ve outgrown Blogger – as evidenced by the fact that I actually can’t transfer my blog to New Blogger. I’m told my blog is too big – too many posts or comments.
I wanted to move to WordPress, which is generally regarded as a superior blogging tool. And it seemed silly to move the blog to WordPress and NOT get a domain. So here I am.
For you, the reader, things should pretty much be the same. The template of the new blog is almost identical to the old blog, only without some of the annoying quirks when you read it in Firefox (and you should be using Firefox, because, hello. Way better than IE). You won’t need a Blogger or Google account to post comments. You can post using a WordPress account, but you certainly don’t have to.
There are still some quirks to work out. I’ve got to add Technorati links and some other things to the sidebar. But you can still e-mail me at charmingbutsingle at gmail dot com. And everything will be back to normal — only BETTER normal — soon. For starters, I’ve written a slightly longer bio that you can read on the “About” page.
Please update your blogrolls to reflect the new address, www.charmingbutsingle.com. The old Blogger site will stay up for awhile, but I’m going to slowly fix the links on the new site so that it doesn’t link back to the old one. I’m sure this will take awhile (unless anyone knows how to make universal site changes in WordPress!). I have turned off comments on this blog so that you will HAVE to use the new blog. (Don’t worry! All of your old comments? Totally on the new site!)
To recap: A better blogging experience at www.charmingbutsingle.com.
Congratulations on the new website! Sorry your Saints couldn’t win for you, but I’m kind of glad they lost since they beat my Eagles last week. ;-P
Welcome to the new venue! Best of luck with the conversion and everything IRL. You rock.
Hooray for a new URL! What an exciting milestone, especially with Year Two upon ya.
Congrats! Will you be publishing a feed for this new site??
I’m jealous. So very, very jealous.
Congrats on the new site. What a perfect 2 year gift to yourself and all your readers. Good luck w/ the move!
I found it! Very cool! Congrats!
Looks like we’re both nursing broken (bruised?) sports hearts tonight. Goddamn Payton Manning! Grrrr….
Anyway - enjoy your new home
Thanks for the warm welcome. I’m really excited. I have some work to do on the site, but I wanted to get switched over ASAP.
Jody — Yeah, I wish we could have pulled it out. But I’m terribly proud of the Saints. They gave the WhoDatNation something to hope for when we didn’t have much good going on. And that is the best gift anyone could give us right now.
Sandra Dee — I think the feed is down at the bottom. The link is: http://charmingbutsingle.com/feed/
I have no idea if the feed is working or not. I’m trying to get it to the embed in the sidebar, but no such luck! Also? My Technorati embed? No clue. Seriously. Someone. Help. Me.
The new version of WordPress is coming out tomorrow:

Hey, I’ve been lurking your blog for about a week now. Not in a “scary, crazy, obsessed stalker” way. In more of a “curious, intrigued, looking for something good to read” way.
I hope you don’t mind, I added a link to your blog on my blog so I could come visit again…in that “curious, intrigued, looking for something good to read” way.
Hey there- congrats on the new site! I really enjoy reading your blog. Just a helpful hint- is there an error in your tag line? “A journal is dates”? I’m a psycho editor by trade, so I tend to notice these silly little things but anyway…keep writing, I’ll definitely keep reading!
I love your site, congrats on getting your own “property”!
Just a word of constructive criticism, I preferred the slightly smaller (although not ridiculously small!) fonts on the Blogger site, as it meant less scrolling. Hope that you agree!
Please do keep up the fabulous writing, I’ll be faithful as ever
Congrats on the move! I shall update my blogrolls right now x
Many congrats for moving to your very own site. Like NML says: time to update those blogrolls!
Welcome to WordPress!
Updating blogroll…
Somehow “The Jeffersons” theme song is now stuck in my head… Congrats on “movin’ on up!”….
Looks great! Nice transition, you techy you.
Congrats, darlin!
Will someone pass the champaigne please?
