The other day on one of our customary walks, KarenD commented on the migratory trend among our Blogger friends toward WordPress. I hadn’t noticed, but when I looked more closely, there were several of my regular reads with new links as the latest post. It piqued my curiosity.
I toyed with the idea for a few days, visiting my WordPress forebears with extra frequency, noting the features in the side columns, the snazzy headers, and the options for multiple pages. At Stephen’s suggestion, I signed up for a free webpage that I secretly began playing with. (And when I say secretly, I mean noticed only by my faithful friend T). I had fun playing with new and exciting features, including the neurosis-enabling blog stat tracker.
Although I was excited about the idea of a brand-new, fresh start, I was a little concerned about losing readers and archives from my old CGS page. As it turned out, the archives were very easy to transfer, and Stephen’s job news came up. I hoped that with an intriguing enough hook, I could lure my old friends to my new page.
I am feeling very at home with the new site, and I am happy to see that I have had over 200 views so far. (I hope that is not counting the 150 times I have logged in from my computer at work) But I do have one question for WordPress veterans: Is there a way to put a “home” tab in my header? I can’t figure that one out.
Thanks for visiting. Come back soon.

The “HOME” tab on this theme is actually your blog title name. Just click it (above the picture). Other than that…no you can’t add a “home” tab like you want with WP.com

I need to email everyone and remind them to change my link to my new blog instead of the old one, so that when all the fabulous readers want to see my blog they get the correct one. For that matter, I need to change yours.
