I feel like the little engine that could! 
It’s been weeks and weeks of trying to copy my (rather hefty) content over to my new dot com planet – and a HUGE shout out to J for many offers of help and many hours of email hand-holding AND emailing on my behalf that resulted in all my content copied through just before noon today!!
There are still some things to be figured out and tweaked (blogroll, other widgets, etc.) and decisions about blog stats and analytics as well (suggestions anyone?) – BUT – J held my virtual hand and Godaddy helped as well and a few other online friends (in snowy places) listened to my roller coaster ride (while the mouse was in the house) as I uploaded files.
Pop by and peek at DailyPlateOfCrazy.com!
Here today (and yes, here tomorrow)
I will still be here on WordPress for a while – and please don’t leave comments on the dot com yet. I have some behind-the-scenes tinkering and then I’ll have a redirect from here, as soon as everything is set, so you won’t be troubled at all by my change of address. AND, I will now stop bitching about my dot com – but I still have a Stuart Little problem… I guess the mouse-in-the-house turned his little nose up at the creamy peanut butter and prefers chunky, after all? (I’ll put it on my grocery list.) 
As for the site – please bear with me – it does look exactly the same (just have to rebuild the blogroll and a few widgets), so –
- Here’s to everyone who helped! (Thank you!)
- A big high-heeled HUG to J (who worked magic of his own)
- Thank you for pointing me to the “user” solution!
- And I, for one, am happy to have no spiked coffee this evening!
Every now and then, the big M for Murphy’s Law scurries away (with Stuart Little?) – and it feels incredible to be the little engine that could and can. But I couldn’t have done it without a lot of help from my new friends.

That’s so exciting!!! I’m hoping to do the same at some point… in the very distant future I’m sure… it seems like such a huge step. Congratulations! It already looks fantastic 😉
I am so happy for you! If I knew a little bit more about web designing I would help you out with the few glitches you still need to correct. But, alas, I am still learning internet how-tos myself.
I checked out the new website, it looks wonderful!!
Thanks! (Much trickier than I thought it would be – but almost there! (And when you’re ready if I can be of any help, holler. Still feeling my way…)
Thanks!
Here I am, considering a “big move” from blogger to wordpress and you’re getting your own website! Nice job!
Good for you! Sending a hi-5 and a herky your way!
Congrats. Moving to a new domain is a pain. I did it myself one time. Hope the rest goes smoothly!
I have my hosting all set and was ready to move in October but couldn’t do it. I worried about so many issues. Now you are showing me I should just suck it up and move it all as I already have an GoogleAds account.
