Yes, you read that title right, I'm finally, finally, finishing my Wordpress move and redesign! Because of the vast amount of content on this blog (and, let's be honest, no small amount of sentimentality), this process has taken a good year to complete.
The last decisions to be made were the practical ones: matters of follower transference and whether to bother with a redirect. Ultimately, I decided to start completely fresh and 1) not transfer my followers and 2) build a redirect into the base code of this address in about a month's time.
If you follow me by email and would like to continue, head on over to www.blueeyebooks.com and follow me via Wordpress or email at the bottom of the page. If you're following me on my socials, never fear, those are staying the same (how could I possibly give up my handles?). Those are @blueeyebooks on Instagram and @blueeyebooks on Twitter for those not already following me there.
I'm delaying the redirect for a number of reasons but mostly because it requires replacing some code and I'm ridiculously sentimental, okay? After that final backup of the blog, it'll go into effect to redirect any lingering links out there on the inter-webs.
I'm still updating all my old posts on the new address so you'll be seeing the old graphics around on those posts for a few months until I can get to each and every one of them. It'll take a while for little ole me to update over 750 posts with only a couple hours every night but I'll get there!
I'm excited for this next scene in the story of Blue Eye Books and I hope you all will come along with me!
Good luck with the move, Laura! Looking forward to seeing the content over on wordpress :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emily! It's certainly been a journey but I love the new redesign :)
