Bloody hell I did it over the weekend, I’ve moved the whole lot over to WordPress.
I used to be scared of WordPress as I didn’t understood php but now I do and I feel so happy as WordPress makes my life so much brighter. I used to work with MovableType which is quite hardcore publishing and leaves a blogger and "amateur" coder quite in the dark. So my move is good, I feel good … comments are all gone though as I also moved server and they were faster than yours truly. But I managed to import all the old post.
I love code, it’s poetry. For the same reason I like crochet and knitting patterns as I feel I’m part of a group of people who can crack that code. For an exercise in one of my crochet classes I gave my students a mystery project, they were only given a pattern and had to crochet without knowing what they were making. At the end of the class they were all holding a flower. How awesome is that?
I’m going to play around with WordPress and slowly I’ll be adding recipe pages from the old blog and such. So keep an eye out as there’s so much plugin in to do for me – whhhhhaaa!!
On a more technical note, my feed has changed so you’ll have to update that by clicking on the feed button on this site or directly in your browser.
Oh yay! I just moved to wordpress too, and love it so much! I’m still figuring out that php code stuff, but it sure is fun
I like your comparison to crochet and knitting language. Any advice for learning more php?
I really like WordPress too, it has a nice admin interface doesn’t it
it really does and it’s so super smooth. Boy can one be in love with a blog publisher?
Well done Yvonne, it looks great! Now all you need is the flatttr-plugin so I can flatter you!
Done!! Thanks for the tip Hanna x
Ik ben ook bezig een blog op te zetten bij WordPress, ik begin weer van voor af aan met een nieuwe blog. Ik heb een fulltime baan, ik klus er wat aan in mijn vrije tijd.
groetjes, Marianne.
It’s great to know that an experienced blogger like yourself also uses WordPress. You blog is beautiful! A strange thing though is that I, even when I’m logged into WordPress, don’t see the option to follow your WordPress blog. Usually there’s a toolbar thingy at the top of a WordPress blog so that other WordPress users can just click on “follow” but I don’t see it on yours…
Thank you!! I’m using WordPress.org (self hosting) so that’s why I don’t have that button. You can subscribe to my feed instead.
Goeie zet! Ik ben vorige week ook overgestapt naar eigen hosting op wordpress. Blij mee
I just moved my site from Blogger to WordPress too!
I’m still not done with all the little details but I’m so happy with the change. Your site is just as beautiful as your home. 
And good thing you posted on your old blog that you changed feed address since I missed a few posts!
Welcome to wordpress!
I know what you mean about code being poetry. I absolutely love it and miss it. When I started blogging 10 years ago I created all my sites from scratch with notepad. After a 4 year hiatus I joined wordpress last year and while I love it, I feel like I’m cheating a bit. I still use a lot more code then I need to when writing posts
Just beautiful, as always ! I need to take some time myself to plunge into all the code behind by blog (blogspot so far), but I hope I’ll achieve something as great as yours ! Are you self-taught in all those php/html/whatever language things ?
Hi Yves,
It’s been so long I haven’t seen a new post from you.. are you ok? I miss your brightly and lovely post! Hope to hear from you soon!
Dear Stefy, that’s quite odd as I’m blogging quite a lot.
Veeeel te laat, maar door “het leven” (2e zwangerschap en daarna dus een baby én een peuter) zijn mijn activiteiten op creatief en blog gebied erg laag komen te staan. Het creatieve begint weer, nu weer een beetje de blogs gaan lezen die ik volg. Stiekum is het vooral in de eerste plaats plaatjes kijken (en die van jou zijn altijd zo mooi!) en snel de bijbehorende tekst doorlezen.
Ik ben dus de rss feeds die ik via wordpress less (soort wordpress rss feed reader) langs aan het lopen om een aantal te verhuizen naar mail-subscription ipv rss feed, en ik kom er dus nu pas achter dat je verhuisd was.
Zelf zit ik nog bij wordpress.com, maar wil ooit wel overstappen naar .org. Ben al een klein beetje bezig met een eigen website. (Nou ja, bezig… zo eens in de x maanden kijk ik er eens naar, probeer ik wat, en ga weer door naar mijn blog, daar staat alles al klaar…)
Ik zie bij jou geloof ik … oh wacht, haha, ik zie het net hieronder staan, “subscribe to yvestown via e-mail”. Nou dan kan ik je uit mijn reader gooien en naar mijn mailbox sturen, dan raak je tenminste niet ondergesneeuwd onder alle andere blogs omdat ik dan een apart mapje kan aanmaken.
groetjes,
Debbie.
