Can You See Me Now?

March 15, 2010

Posted in: Real Life with Lindsay

Whew! That change over from Blogger to WordPress was surely challenging. Luckily, I have a genius of a husband who figured out all of the little snags we encountered in importing my old posts and comments over here.  He’s a saint (with more patience than I), for sure!

If you wouldn’t mind, leave a comment below to let me know that this post did come through to your feed reader, Google Friend Connect, or whatever else you use to find my blog.  I would be forever grateful.

I’d also love it if you’d click around a bit and let me know if you see anything that is wonky or broken.  I know I need to fix the Tutorial and Teach Me Tuesday tabs, so that’s already on my radar.  Are links not working? Are photos not showing up? Does some page just look like gobbeldy-gook?  Please let me know!

I have a fun post I’m planning to write up tonight, so we’ll be back to decorating and glue gun burns very soon.  Thanks, guys!

UPDATE: None of my internal links are working (i.e. if I link to one of my old posts).  Looks like Tom will get to fix that, too!  :D   FIXED:  Who needs Tom when I can do it myself?  Ha!

Just FYI, I tried to click on two different “you might also like” links and they both took me to a weird error message about surfing the web.

Thanks, Kim! I guess they 404′d. I’ll have to figure that out.

Looks great! I’ve heard alot about wordpress so it’ll be neat to see the advantages through you. :)

Also, I wanted to let you know that I finally got my website up and running and would love for you to come over and enter the contest to win something for your new little one coming soon! Thank you for your help with website questions in the past! http://www.milkandhoneytexas.blogspot.com

You’re here – and I’m here! Your posts (including a bunch from the previous week) refed into Google Reader, so all seems well.

It would be fun to hear your process of moving over from Blogger to WP….

Ack! Sorry about the extra posts. I was worried that might happen. Let me know if it continues to happen. Hopefully, it was just a one-time dealio.

Looks great! I have been following you since the book wreath. Still waiting to make my own. Got the book and the wreath form. Keep up the great ideas!!!

27 Beki - TheRustedChain March 15, 2010 at 9:07 am

It looks great!

But I can’t find the $5 wreath challenge. I followed the button from my blog and it landed on a dead page.

Reply

28 Living With Lindsay March 15, 2010 at 9:16 am

Yes, it probably did! I think that has to do with the problem I’m having with internal links. Blogger adds the ‘A,’ ‘The,’ etc to the permalink whereas Wordpress does not…hence my broken links. Tom is working on that tonight, but until then, here’s the $5 Challenge:

Looks great! I think you’ll like WordPress. Although, as you already found out, it can be a little complicated. Your latest post isn’t showing up in my Google Reader, but it must be just my problem since everyone else sees it.

I can see you! You need to do a tutorial on how to switch over. I’ve yet to figure it out. I have a WP blog, but I don’t use it because I don’t know how to get all my blogger stuff onto it and how to make it all pretty.

51 emily March 16, 2010 at 5:52 am

Hi Lindsay! I love your blog layout, header, everything! Looks great. And welcome to WordPress. You’re gonna love it. Hope you have lots of fun in Nesters Giveaway lineup today. It’s crazy in a good way over there today! Whew.

53 Kelly Brumley March 17, 2010 at 5:36 pm

Hmmm…I must be the odd man out because you aren’t showing up in my feed reader at all (Google). I was wanting to see what you did for the Teach me Tuesday (I missed it!) and went looking for it which is how I read this post.

Reply

54 Lindsay March 17, 2010 at 7:23 pm

Thanks, Kelly! Unfortunately, you are not alone. :( I think I’m missing about 4,000 subscribers which is leaving me more than a bit panicked. I’m trying to work on it it, but I don’t know what to do. ACK! I hope I can figure out something tonight.

55 Beckie March 17, 2010 at 9:32 pm

Wow it looks great. I love all the little new functions. Hmmmm…I wonder if I will ever do that it seems scary.
