-Blog Changes

My old template is broken.....I have messed around with it so much over the years, that it is beyond repair!  I have put off doing anything about it because I was toying with the idea of changing to WordPress, but I realize that it might be a while before I do that, and the brokenness is driving me crazy........So, before getting a new template, I have decided to do something that I have dreaded......

I am going to switch over to the "new" blogger.  I'm sure that I am the last person on this planet to switch, but it is still scary for me.  One thing that I have already noticed is that because my Google Follower thing wasn't put in there by blogger, all my followers are going to disappear when I switch.....so, if you follow me, please check back tonight or tomorrow and re-click follow if you don't see yourself in my follower box.  Thank you so much (nothing like reading a blog, only to be given homework, is there!)  I appreciate all of you who stop by and read and leave comments, hopefully this won't be too annoying for y'all!

  3. Welcome to the new blogger :) I love the new layout so far :D And even though I dissapeared as your follower you still showed up in my dashboard ;) I guess you can think of this as weeding out everyone who didn't actively read your blog? LoL! :D

  4. Hi, thanks for visiting me! I'm really confused about the new and old blogger. I think I'm using the new blogger but I'm not sure, LOL. All I know is, I still feel limited by my template choices. I haven't found many good templates for blogger. Good luck to you!

  5. I like your new look! It does stink when you lose all your stuff. I know that many people look for updated templates. My favorite site is http://www.bietemplates.com/

  12. LOL! No, I think that the last person to switch over is ME! I tried switching over a while ago but it was all screwed up and I couldn't figure it out. :P I clicked and I'm following you.

  13. I'm in a similiar predicament. My blog host has started charging me a monthly fee. It's not sustainable for my writing to cost me money. I earn money writing but not enough to live on. He has moved it a couple of times and links have broken. I am considering putting some of my archives on blogger blogs of their own and starting my daily blog new on blogger where it's free. I would have so much more control. It seems easy enough but I still don't know how to get stuff on the sidebar that is not automatically there. Wordpress cost a yearly fee, right? I don't mind a small yearly fee but do not want a monthly one. It adds up.
