Ha! I thought that title might get your attention!
Revamping of my blog is on my to-do list this summer. And by revamping, I mean a whole new ballgame. Before September 1, 2015, rolls around, Typepad will no longer be my home.
I say this with confidence because I bought a year's subscription to both HostGator, my new domain, and to Elegant Themes by Wordpress (and have actually selected one, by cracky)!
I have even... uploaded said theme to my new blog host AND made a child theme so I can tailor it to my specifications without hopelessly destroying the original code.
Do I know what I'm doing?
Nope.
But I'm an autodidact and have managed to successfully teach myself just about everything I've ever wanted to know, so with the help of YouTube, the WordPress site, and some other fine sites out there, I will overcome my ignorance!
And I will share my hard-won knowledge with those who are interested so you can learn from my mistakes. (And, let's face it, this situation is rife with comic possibilities so it should have some entertainment value.)
If you'd like to see what I've accomplished thus far, check out my first post at my dream blog.
Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!

Hi, not a clue what you are talking about so that probably means it's under control. I'm a techno idiot. Hopped over and it looks very interesting. I got a bit spooked when I clicked on the comment at the bottom and it took me through to a type pad page with tick boxes and things. Is it supposed to do that?? Looked at a few other posts and the comment box looked 'normal'. Don't know where you find the time to get your head round this. I will have to find the follow button. Hugz

Re above comment, I meant WordPress not type pad. See, can't even get that right! Hugz

Crud! You should be able to leave a comment over there. Well, this is like trying to learn Greek at 80, so I'm not too terribly surprised there's an issue. But that's what this is all about. Total transparency as I face off against technology - hee-hee-hee!
