On getting Dotcom-ed and other little big changes




As you've probably noticed,my site looks VERY pink right now-and until I get sick of it,I'll just lean back and admire my handiwork for a while.This time I went out and out crazy with everything trying to make it look less blogger like and more profesh.Alternatively,you can also look at it like me being a huge cheap-ass who can't afford to make a move to Wordpress just about now.In the process,however,I discovered how much potential blogger has if you can only push and wield it.Everyday of designing is a learning experience for me.The boy did help me out with a few codes-the perks of love and coitus with a nerd ^_^(said person is registering a tumblr as we speak).

I also got myself a brand new DOTcom after much procrastination -look up at the address bar and behold the new domain kid initiate.Slaughter a goat.Beat a few drums-let's dance around the fire!
A few days back I made a necessary mistake of changing my old url and lost all my followers(even though hardly any of them were regular commentors ,still..) and I was apprehensive.I Googled high and low and only made the switch after I was convinced that if I bought a domain through Blogger(which is registered at Godaddy), Google does all the redirecting for you  and I would lose neither my comments nor my readers.However I did see my comments disappear while my blog was in transition(probably because my comments were on Disqus) and stubbed my toe till it called me in for domestic violence.
Two days later I re-installed Disqus,and it was all good. *insert goofy smiley face here*.So,if I would say if you really need all that space IRL,you might as well grab one online.*winks*

Yes indeed,I do work for Measles' Inc.

  3. Thanks Bella!I like pink in small doses..or maybe it's just a conscious aversion of my pre-ladylike self lol.I love me some pink now :D

    Purchasing a domain through google is pretty cheap I guess..it only cost me $10/year or I would have had no chance
