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.
