My New Home at WordPress!

If you follow me on a blog reader or just follow on facebook, you may not have noticed, but a HUGE change took place at my blog a few days ago!!

My blog got moved to wordpress! Woo-hoo! Now, the domain name has NOT changed, so www.mercyisnew.com is still where you will find me! But, behind the scenes there was a lot happening!

I wanted to share this with you for several reasons…

First of all, the guy who moved my blog for me, is the owner of Boomerang Designs. You might be interested to know that he is the guy behind the recent new Five in a Row site & blog as well as Heidi St. John’s new site! {And for those of you super curious souls out there – like me – he is my sister-in-law’s brother! ha!} There are lots of things he is doing with his new business: web design, web hosting, social networking, search engine optimization strategies, graphic design and more. I will say that moving my blog from blogger was waaaaay more than I could have managed. I would have blown up the internet. But I highly recommend you move over if you’re thinking of it!!

He and his wife just recently moved to Louisville, KY to attend seminary. His wife is a fabulous photographer, if you happen to need one in that area. They would love your support in both of these endeavors as they raise their 2 little boys and attend seminary full time.

Secondly, I wanted to share about my move with you because things are being moved, changed and even deleted. 🙂 I have been blogging for over 7 years. Sheesh! I’m a bit more wordy on the blog than in real life. Ha! And I have posts that are just pointless now that need to be deleted.

I also lost quite a few pictures at some point on blogger and never figured that out. So, some of those posts will be re-worked as I get time in the future and some will not.

At this point, there are a LOT of broken links. I’m working on a few at a time. 🙂

Thanks for visiting and for your patience in all this!!

Finally, a few ways for you to give me some feedback:

• if you see something that is gone and you’d like it back, please let me know! I can try! (one of my first commenters on the new site asked for the FIAR tab to be put back in clear view, so it is now under my homeschooling tab. I will say that some of my older FIAR posts are the ones that lost pictures and so they may be going bye-bye, but truly, it’s OK, there are so many more wonderful resources out there for FIAR these days!!)
• I added a disclaimer page that explains my affiliate relationships as well as give aways, reviews, etc!
• A new contact form! yay! You can now contact me via my blog and it will come straight to my inbox!
• A newly updated About Me page ~ take a peek. 🙂 Anything you would like me to add?

I have a LOT to learn when it comes to wordpress. It is a big learning curve. But, I’m excited to learn new things and so happy that you decided to come over and visit!!
