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.)
Hmmm…. Perhaps this will get me using MY wordpress site more.
HAHAHAHAHA! I’m a creature of habit. And techno-stupid. So that’s totally not gonna happen!! lol

Sure hope this works out as great as it sounds! Don’t want to enter all the rigamorole every time, though, so I’m hoping I read wrong and I don”t have to….
Hmmm…must say I like the old layout better…but that’s probably just because I’m not used to this one yet. Come enter our giveaway: http://lanceandjulie.blogspot.com/2009/10/its-finally-time-for.html

lovin’ the new site
I’ve always thought that WordPress was better, but unfortunately, I didn’t come to that conclusion until after I started my Blogger blog, and I have no idea how to switch. Was it a had process?

I’m not good with change. I expect lots of hand holding.
I loveIt! Why did you change to WordPress?
Ok I was panicking this morning when I could not find ya’ll, EVEN though I read the post about the move.. *calms panicky nerves breathe in and out… somewhere in the midst of here I have a wordpress blog but I never figured out how to work the darn thing and went back to blogger lol…
Hello, my darlings.

Everyone is changing to WordPress. I just don’t have the time to sit down and learn it all. It does look quite fabulous though.

I switched from blogger to wordpress too. Not that I had any real problems with blogger, just wanted to integrate my sites (etsy & blogger).
I forgot to twitter too. I like this feature, I would like it on my site

Oh man, I have been waiting and waiting for an update to pop up in my googlereader. I clearly wasn’t thinking about the fact that the link would change! So, here I am, checking in for Saturday!
Yay, I’m finally back after a long transition time of moving…and moving again…Long story…anyway…Hey girlies!! Missed reading your blogs!
Love the new look!

WordPress is great, glad you made the switch. That Google Friend Plugin can still be used with WP, btw – you had to be proud of those 3700 friends!

I didn’t realize today that I wasn’t getting SITS updates in my Google Reader. I think it’s fixed now. I guess Google and Blogger don’t like WordPress.

I love the new look. It is much easier to access they days that some of us sometimes miss.
Awesome, upgrades are a good thing!!!!
I love the new looks =) I’ve been a loyal user of wordpress since the beginning *winks* now.. its time for me to explore SITS ( as I haven’t been around for quite a long time ahax ! )
Oh, I missed just a few days and so many things happened.
