BEDKNOBS & BAUBLES

Welcome

by 9 Comments

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”] W [/dropcap]elcome to the new blog! I had no intention of ever leaving Tumblr for WordPress until my previous platform had a falling out with Bloglovin’, preventing my new posts from showing up. Even thought I hoped for a resolution between the two companies, moving over to WordPress was probably the best outcome I could have asked for. Dave and I spent most of Saturday and Sunday making tweaks to create a site I’m really excited about.

A few things to note:

  • Disqus comments didn’t import seamlessly. Please know that I appreciate your comments and I didn’t hastily decide to forgo the old ones. We’re back in business for incoming thoughts, though. (The comment link is now at the top of the post under the title.)
  • Tumblr and WordPress have different conventions for creating links. Dave was able to work his magic to make sure old links to individual posts redirect to the correct one on WordPress. However, if you linked to a category page at any point (like The French Wardrobe Challenge posts), those links are broken. Let me know if you want to update them and I’ll send over the new link.
  • Bloglovin’ should start importing the new posts soon, if they haven’t done so already. Bear with me while I figure out that last piece of the puzzle.
  • If you find anything that’s broken, please let me know. I’m sure I missed something along the way!

Thanks again for reading! You gals are the best!

THE THINGS WE DO FOR BLOGGING

Last night, I was trying to get the perfect photo for Instagram to show that my new Ferragamos match the painting I created for our bedroom when I heard a laugh behind me. Dave was poised with his phone taking photos of me taking photos of my shoes. I scoffed, “ain’t no shame” and when about my business. Until he threatened to share it via Shapchat with one of our friends. I pleaded with him to keep it private and send it only to me. I promptly made it public on Instagram. I look ridiculous, but this is what blogging is, folks, and I suspect we’ve all had an awkward photo moment once or twice.

Here’s to a weekend filled with awkward poses and situations to get the perfect shot for your blogs next week! Around here, the week will bring some of our trip photos (finally), an interview with the woman behind Kira Kira and a giveaway, my thoughts on Birkenstocks and a French Wardrobe update.
