Proud New Owner

Well I went and bought my domain.

"My Cats Are French" is no longer only a site on blogger.com or wowway or msn.groups. I’ve got mycatsarefrench.com locked up.

Just about as traumatic as closing on a house. I’m waiting for “buyer remorse” to kick in.

But REALLY I feel like -

"Yertle, the Turtle, oh marvelous me.
For I am the ruler of all that I see."
(Thank you Dr. Seuss.)

Don’t quite know how I am gonna convert this all over, but I am glad to have decided to make the move after only 4 months of blogging and not 4 years.

It took all day to claim my domain and move this blog. I am no techie and though I can do basic things, it was scary to try to figure out who to register the domain with, what kind of support will I get, what’s the best deal, what will be easiest to figure out. Hope I won’t be disappointed. Had to fill in waaaaaay too many forms wanting user names and passwords (I made a file to try and keep them all straight.) Feeling schizophrenic about who I am right now and what my name is. LOL But so far, so good.

It all doesn’t look exactly the same, but it is close enough. I was having nightmares and getting ulcers from thinking of the amount of work it would take to move everything manually. Word Press was able to import all my posts, archives and comments. I need to fix headings and links and pics, but that is small potatoes compared to trying to do the rest from the beginning. Hopefully by the end of April (Hey, I'm a slow learner and technophobic to boot.) all will be redirected to my new home.
