I can tell you I am not sitting under the shade of a tree sipping Sangria in Spain. I am not walking through the surf on the beach in Sitges with hubby. I am sitting at a computer trying to understand WordPress. Dear Lord, what have I done? He-he.
In April when I started my new blog, I registered the domain- Chasingthenextchapter.com. I knew eventually I would be doing something with it. While I had so few posts, I decided to migrate to WordPress. I used theblogging911.com. Rena did an amazing job with the migration. I am very thankful that I made the change when I did. With that being said, it is a new skill to learn and this might have not been the best time to try to learn a new skill.
I have had a few health “hiccups” and should be resting. Two words… shingles and eyes. If you haven’t had a shingle shot, GET ONE (although my friend had the shot and has had shingles 3 times). I’m hoping this is the ONLY time I have this lovely experience. It could always be worse though.
Well, as this is my first post with WordPress, I am keeping it short. I hope this post is visible and I pray I am up to the task of conquering the beast. Seriously, not a beast… just very different. Lots of bells and whistles and do-dads and many other fancy things.
Stay well.
XOXO
Dearest Barb,
Glad you’re getting over your shingles; that’s not a nice surprise to live through.
Yes, your blog is visible here, at least I am able to comment.
Hope you get used to your WordPress outlay and will be doing fine.
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
Hi Mariette!
You are my first comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit. It got to be too much with blogger. When I started my first blog I used another email. When I tried to use my gmail account, it wanted to delete The French Elements. That was not an option. I had to keep logging out and in with different emails. Just crazy.
Hope you and hubby are doing well.
Sending love and hugs,
Barb
Thank you Barb and yes, considering age and health issues we both are well!
Thank God my friend. Hubby sees the oncologist tomorrow for his 4 month check up. Praying for good news. It usually takes a few days to get all results. It makes for a long weekend.
Love to both of you.
Dearest Barb, yes, keeping my fingers crossed for him!
Health is the most important thing…
Big hugs to you both.
Thank you so much Mariette. I am hoping for fab news and the next checkup to be 6 months or later.
Have a blessed rest of the week.
xoxo

Hi! I appreciate your kind words! I designed this blog on blogger and then had someone move it to WP.The design is 100% mine although the bottom footer shows another name. That was the person who moved the blog over from blogger. I’m not sure how to remove that since it is very misleading.
I am still trying to figure everything out. WP support information has been extremely helpful. It is a free theme. Have a great week!

a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?

You would have to unsubscribe. I have no control over that.

Great information. Lucky me Not long ago i found your blog
by chance (stumbleupon). I actually have book marked it for later!
Thank you for visiting and your very kind words. I hope to post often although the month of September totally passed me by! Take care.
Wonderful blog! Are you experiencing any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start out my very own website soon but I’m a bit lost on everything.
Could you propose beginning from a free of charge platform like WordPress or get a paid option? There
are so many choices around that I’m completely confused ..
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
Thank you for visiting and the compliment.
I would start from the get go with WordPress. I used blogger for years with my first blog. I started this blog on blogger and then had it migrated to WP. It would have been much easier if I would have started this on WP myself instead of a migration.
Good luck! Let me know when you are up and running.
I just want to mention I am just newbie to blogs and honestly savored this web-site. Likely I’m going to bookmark your site . You actually have terrific articles and reviews. Kudos for revealing your web-site.
Thank you! I appreciate your visit.
