I've Moved to WordPress

For the past year I've had my own domain at nancyslife.com. That's were this blog has been pointing too for the past year. Now I've made the move to WordPress. You can still see me through nancyslife.com, but if you've been getting here through my blogspot address, I'll no longer be updating here. So, come on over to nancyslife.com and say Hi and if you are linking to me with my old address still, please update. Thanks.

Let's Try Agian

Okay, so I decided that I wasn't going to go through the hassle with the web host I was trying to get set up at. After that email I posted below, they called me at a completely different number while I was at work. Then they sent an email today saying that my order was flagged for fraud and that they couldn't verify me and to please try again. Whatever. And this was supposed to be one of the good ones. They really need to get their stuff together. So, off I go through the internet again to hunt down a reliable web host for myself. Like I have time to be doing this! I don't have a day off of work until Wednesday and I have a paper due Monday. Ugh.

Update

I finally got an email from the sales department of the host I signed up with asking me to verify my order. The email stated that I could verify through live chat, so I tried that. The live chat agent directed me to a phone number; gee thanks for your help. Below is my response to the sales email (my phone number removed of course):

I can be reached at (phone number removed).

I have to say I am not too happy with your services so far and am rethinking going through with my order. I have waited for more than 72 hours for any type of communication from your company and your email below states that I can confirm my order through live chat, but your live chat agent directed me to your phone number instead of helping me. If I have any more problems, I will be canceling my order and trying another web host.

Sincerely,
Nancy

We'll see what happens.

Impatience

I signed up with a web host on Sunday, as I said I would. I haven't heard anything yet. I don't think a web host has ever taken this long to get back to me when I've signed up before, ugh. Not looking good guys. Well, once everything is up then I will be downloading WordPress and getting to work. I'm excited and want to get started already. I'm tired of looking at this mess here.

Opening Up to New Possibilities

Possibilities. I'm looking at that word, and it seems like a complicated word. You know how when you look at a word too often it starts to look like it can't be spelled right? Up until a couple of days ago that word just didn't seem right to me. On Friday I received my tax return, and when I received it I felt such a flood of relief. I paid off both of my credit cards right then, and right then a whole new world of possibilities opened up. I am finally free from debt and my finances are finally in the positive, if I don't count my student loans; I think Motley Fool would call it positive debt, ha. The freedom I feel now, while not whole, is a lot bigger than it was and feels so great.

So, 2008 is going to be the year of possibilities for me. School is almost over and some of the changes I have for my blog are coming together. Dates are getting set and plans are being formulated.

To begin, I am making the move to WordPress. As soon as I finish this post I am going to sign up with a host I've researched, and as soon as that is complete I'll be doing the download and moving everything over.

The rest of my plans I will post about later, and I have some that I think you will enjoy. School is almost over and my free time to explore and try new things will be opening up to new possibilities.

I Think I May Just Be Losing It

After being away from the computer all day and then just now looking at my blog...ugh. I hate it. I'll have to try something else.


[Update] Having even worse luck now...I've completely wiped out my widgets. Welcome to my mess. I think the best Ill be able to accomplish at this point is getting a basic template up and reworking the whole thing.

Maybe I'll just have to move to WordPress after all. I miss being able to work on my website and have just the way I like before I upload it. I can do that with WordPress right?
