Not Sure What I’m Doing Here…
I’ve been wanting to self-host my blog for a while now, and I’m working on doing that today. I have a lot of questions about it, and I’m hoping I can do enough research today to get some answers.
I hope I don’t fool around and do something to erase this blog, or lose my 100+ followers! If my blog disappears in the next few days, please find me! I’m shooting for www.ahairinmybiscuit.com, and I’ve already purchased the domain, so it should work. I’m so clueless! I just know that I can’t keep wondering about it and planning to look into it…I just have to do it!
Am I the only one who functions this way? I find myself with a little free time, so I just dive head-first into something that was so daunting only yesterday. I do often find myself in sticky situations, usually situations that could have been avoided had I just given my actions a little thought. I don’t often learn from these moments, and I am proving that today. I signed up for my own domain, and I’m waiting the 17 minutes (seems like my wait time number keeps going up) for the live chat guy to answer my questions.
Wish me luck! I’ll bet Lou over at Bluehost’s chat center wishes I’d picked any other day than this. 🙂 Maybe everything will still be in one piece when this is over…any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. I’m at 19 minutes and counting!

Oh I’ve been thinking of doing this myself! Hang in there and hope it all works out! I will follow you through thick and through thin, so you won’t lose me!
Ps: I once read a great post about how to export your followers so you don’t lose them… I can’t remember where unfortunately.. On the WordPress site, they might explain it too?
Good luck and keep us posted… I love your domain!

I wish you lots of success. Blogging is fun. I think I’ve had mine on WordPress for a couple of years or less. People find me, like you did, not sure how you did, but I love the name and picture on your blog. It’s memorable! 🙂

Thank you! I’m enjoying myself! It’s not too terribly different from the .com blog, but I still feel like I’m missing something somewhere. I will learn it time, I guess. 🙂
