Tauns’ Blog

Not back to Utah…at least not yet!  We will be doing that in 6 weeks!! 

For now we are moving websites.  It is a website for the entire family to blog and whatever else on.  We already had a lunar pages account and we decided it was time to use it for the family.

After Katy requested a blog, we had so many account with word press it just got crazy.  Trying to get between them all and keeping the sign in and passwords straight was getting a bit confusing.  I almost commented on several different things while in Katy’s account.  I also went to type up a blog and I was in MY blog but under Katy’s username.  When I hit the My Dashboard, it took me to Katy’s account (and I hadn’t realized it).  Typing a blog on her account wasn’t the plan!   Luckily I discovered the error when I saw the blog stats.

The final decision was made last night.  I have been trying to make Katy’s blog all cute and little girly looking.  The free wordpress doesn’t give many options in regards to this.  I found a site that allowed me to doll up Katy’s account for free.  YAY!  After spending about 3 hours designing her “new look”, we discovered the free accounts don’t allow you to have the cool, unique looks…at least to everything we tried and understood.  We would have to upgrade the account in order to have the cool new look. 

We had a couple options.  The first was to just keep her free account and find the best suited look.  The second was to take our lunar pages account that is already paid for another year and set up a family blog site.  The last was forget it all and hate the internet

Ben has been toying with moving his blog around, he even blogged about that recently.  It would be nice to have both Ben and I be able to access Katy’s blog easily so for Katy creating the free family site with a blog for her was a good decision as well.  Personally, I feared that all my hundreds of followers and readers would not follow, loose me and cry because of the move   In all truth on it, I was fearful in switching.  Not fear over loosing people reading  but more because I fear changing and having to figure out a whole new system and how it all works.

Ben promised to help walk me through the process and show me the basic ropes.  From there it will be my job and duty to really learn the new family site.  The site will still be open to anyone to view with comments being moderated.  All except for Katy’s blog area, that we will restricted.  We will have people sign in to see it.  I have to protect my little one for a couple more year!

 We have the domain name ready, I just don’t have things moved around.  When I am set up and all the blogs have been transferred, a cute blog designed and a new welcome blog written, I will give out the new blog location. 

Please follow us in the move!!!
