Aw, shucks. It’s so sweet how y’all missed us so much! But look – we’re back! All shiny and new.
I have to admit I was surprised to read some of the comments and tweets that expressed anxiety over the change from Blogger to WordPress. From your perspective, things shouldn’t be that different. In fact, things will be easier. Let’s go over the changes:
- The home page. Instead of a long list of posts, we now have short excerpts. This will allow you to see more featured bloggers and make it much easier for you to go back to previous posts if you miss a few days here at SITS.
- Commenting. Yes, Blogger users will now have to enter in their name, email and URL before you comment. But you only have to click ONCE to post your comment. No more annoying pop-up windows! And your comment can now automatically show a link to your most recent blog post – you don’t have to do anything except enter your URL and let the “Comment Luv” plug-in do its work. There’s also a field in the comments to enter your Twitter name. Can you say awesome?
- Please check the SITS button on your blog. If it’s the smaller version with the two girls, {the button with the one girl is fine} the html code in the button needs to be updated. Here is the new code: <a border=”0″ href=”http://thesitsgirls.com/” target=”_blank”><img src=”http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee298/oldrallychick/secret-sauce_button.gif” />
And that’s about it. If I’m missing anything or you have any questions or think you may want to make the move to word press, please leave a comment or email me at momreinvented{at}gmail{dot}com. (That’s right, another change… I’m no longer going to be blogging as PHAT Mommy. But more on that next Saturday.)
Hey…checking in…not sure about the new site yet…I so struggle with change!! (Looks good, though, it’s just me trying to figure my way around new territory).

Love the new layout! I made the move from Blogger to WordPress back in August. I was a little nervous, went off without a hitch and now I would never go back. The list of things you can do with WP selfhosted is endless. Trust me, my husband can vouch for the endless hours I’ve spent trying out widgets and plug ins. Just be careful. One wrong plug in and everything can come crashing down, don’t ask me how I know that, but always re-check when you try out a new plugin and backup religiously.
