The move is here.
Well, the other blog is done and ALMOST ready to go. The only necessary thing left is to get my Foodbuzz ad up. Hopefully they will get back to me soon and that will not be problematic.
So here is it……
If you subscribe here, please take the time to subscribe at the new place.
From now on, all new content will upload at whimsicalarchives.com.
See you there!
Moving…
Yesterday WordPress deactivated my blog. It was all a mistake on their part, but they corrected it, so all is well.
HOWEVER, I was very panicked when I logged into WordPress and saw that my blog was gone. I have been blogging here for 2 years. Over 2 years actually. Many things have been recorded here. The thought of not being able to access all I have built here had me freaking out. So, I immediately sent a panicked message to WordPress asking, essentially “why me?’, and instead of waiting patiently to hear back from them, I decided I knew exactly what the problem was and set out to buy my own domain and transfer everything from here to the new site. I like to think of myself as proactive. I like the word “proactive” far more than “ridiculously impatient”. So, I have been absolutely glued to my laptop since yesterday evening (I was up until 2 last night) trying to fix all that is broken. I bought my new domain, which took me forever to name, and I have been transferring and cleaning up the new place all day. In the midst of all of this work, I got the email from WordPress saying that they made a mistake, very sorry, and this blog was completely fine. It was up and running and healthy again.
*exhales major annoyed sigh*
Now, I’ve been wanting to buy my own domain for a very long time anyway. I actually blogged about it December 2010. Although, if I had any idea how much work it would be, I most likely would not have done it. But, it’s done now, and I LOVE the name, so I’m going to go ahead and finish the transfer.
I’ll be back later with the new link to my blog. Everything you see on this blog will be on the new blog. There will be zero differences. Posts, pages, comments, pictures, it will all be there. The only difference to speak of is that I will design a different blog header to correspond with my new blog name.
So, if you’re a subscriber, you’ll have to subscribe to my new blog. Once I’m finished with the move, that is where all of my new content will upload.
Whew. Drama-rama. I wish I didn’t have to leave this blog, sitting here on the web all alone. It’s been my space for 2 years. But I love my new blog name, and all the content from here is waiting on me there.
So, get ready to move with me please! Be back at a later date with new link…..
5 more places…
The 5 places I would like to visit OUTSIDE the US.
1. Egypt
Just like the the Redwoods were the mother of all places on my other list, Egypt is the mother of all places on this list.
About 10 years ago, I got REALLY obsessed with learning about all things Egyptology. Their culture and beliefs, the gods they believed in…everything. (I know most of the names of the Egyptian gods. 
) I have rather nice collection of books on the subject, including the Book of the Dead (which sounds a lot scarier than it really is). It’s fun stuff. I would love to see the pyramids, the Valley of the Kings (and queens), and the Cairo Museum. Those are the sites off the top of my head. I’m sure I could stay there for weeks seeing everything I wanted to see.
2. London
Mostly, I want to go here so I can listen to people talk.
Not really. Well, sorta.
From everything I’ve read, the city is beautiful, AND it is the most vegetarian-friendly city in the world. Score. While visiting, I would shoot over to the Stonehenge. Obviously.
I forgot to mention that Harry Potter lives there. Double score.
3. Greece
I mean just look at that. Who wouldn’t want to go there? And maybe I could brush up on my Greek mythology while visiting.
4. Canada
I don’t really know where in Canada I would like to go…..this would require some research.
5. Italy
Venice, the Colosseum, and food. Now I want a cannoli.
It should be noted that I would be happy only traveling to Egypt and none of the other places listed here.
