Switching from Blogger to WordPress. And other Changes.
I have all my blogs (including this one) hosted on blogger.com but have always felt constricted by bloggers limitations and lack of extras. I have decided to make the switch from blogger to wordpress and a friend over at blog catalog has been gracious enough to create a post over at his blog, detailing the how-to step by step. The article is great for beginners and non-techies, like me. You are the man, Chang! I also plan to install a custom or third party theme, something with a greenish background and more white space than i have now. The cool thing about Word Press, is the plug-ins available which will add additional functionality to my blog. I am excited about the move and the many more changes i have in store for Veggie-Blog.
My aim is to make this blog a go-to blog for vegetarians looking for information, entertainment, and product news within the vegetarian lifestyle.
Thanxs for reading, commenting, and being my friend.
Missy.
UPDATE: I have created my new vegetarian blog, Groovy Vegetarian, it has a shiny brand new name and look. It is empty, but soon it will have great content and it will launch officially, on or around July 4th. Please visit, and let me know what you think. Thx, Missy.

Does this mean your url will change? If it does, be sure to let me know.
Good luck!

For me blogger is adequate already :). And I am afraid I will lose all the links which have been indexed by google. So where’s the new URL for wordpress blog?

Thanxs—Susie, Adria, and Cherry: My new blog should be ready in about two weeks or so, it will have a new name, new look, and new URL. I’m looking forward to the change. Thanxs for dropping by, girls. I will definitely keep you posted on the latest with me and my blogs. Have a good one, see you at BC.

I love “Groovy Vegetarian” I am so looking forward to your new blog. Thanks for stopping by. I feel you exactly! I moved from New York City to Scranton PA because my boyfriend got a job transfer but we are moving back to GA so I can finish up my degree.. Athens, GA has a lot more vegetarian restaurants and such. Although I am not a full vegetarian; I really do love vegetarian restaurants and food. I am hoping one day I will be able to go full vegetarian.

It asked me for username and password just to leave comment there :(.

Hi—Cherry:
It is asking you for a username and password, because it does not recognize you. It is a different blog software, called wordpress. You just need to do it one time, and thats it. Let me know if you have any questions on it.
I got my own domain name yesterday, so the new blog is probably not going to be up just yet, i suspect it should be up and running again sometime today or tommorrow. Thanxs for the visit. Missy.

I know it’s different I have wordpress username for other wordpress blog, but it says wrong pass. Well let me try to register there. But it will encourage more comment if you allow everybody to comment 😀

Hey, guys: Thanxs for the all good vibes. Susie, i left a comment on your blog and already posted about the blogger award. That was very cool. Thx! again. 365: I too had some difficulty making the switch from blogger to wordpress, especially since i am tech un-savvy. Bloggger is definitely easier for those that dont know jack about software, html, ftp, servers, etc. But i am learning loads and i am happy i switched, i am all for challenging myself and growing. I don’t know if you will make moola in one year, but i certainly hope you do, good luck with that. Thanxs for dropping by. Missy.

Missy,
Best of luck. Can’t wait to see the new one. I too am tired of my green over used blogger template. But alas, I don’t know how to change it to something more original. That’s my next order of business.

Nice site!
So is it really worth the switch? Getting used to a new format and all? I’m very new to all this (1 week) so I don’t know much about blogging but I’m loving it already! Feel free to stop by my blog and tell me what you think!
To your health!
