finally moved

20071Sep

by Grace

I started a website 7 months ago on a free host. Now the site has become quite substantial, with inbound links more than I expected and a decent visibility on search engines. I’ve been thinking it would be wise to get my own domain because I’ve decided that I’d like an extra layer of control over my own blog and it’s not like domains are too expensive to afford.

This is still a work in progress. For one, I still don’t know the workaround on how to redirect inbound links in my old URL to the new one. There are some technical issues with some themes I am experimenting and some plugin problems.

The road ahead is bumpy but I hope you will stay with me!

You are my hero! I want to do it too. But I already have no time to blog seriously, so I need to wait til my life slows down!
I love the colours, but I miss the Dubai Feel!
SMILES!
