Wish Me Luck…

November 4, 2011 By Lena

I’m doing it.

I’ve been thinking about doing it for over a year. I’ve been wanting to do it for much longer. And now – and I can’t believe I’m saying this – I’m finally doing it.

I’m migrating my blog from Blogger to WordPress.

To those who don’t speak blog-talk, you may be wondering, “What’s the big deal?” Oh, it’s pretty big in blogger circles. It’s kind of like moving out for the first time; and much like you’d hope all your belongings make it to your new abode, I’m hoping my 2,000+ posts, 4,000+ pictures and 70,000+ comments make it to my new home. (Yes, cutting over can be scary.)

But I am SO ready.

I’m not doing it on my own; I’ve enlisted the help of Desperately Seeking WP, who have promised to make this as painless as possible. And, I have to profusely thank Juan at Sprout Abound, who single-handedly created the most awesome new look for Listen to Lena ever.

(Although I must admit, I’m finding it difficult to part with my current layout; I’ve grown so accustomed to it!)

For my readers: nothing *should* change for you. Simply visit my site as you normally would, and at some point over the next few days, the magic will take place.

Cross your fingers. And wish me luck.
