[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!

All of a sudden, a ton of your posts showed up on my Bloglovin feed and I thought everything was good with Tumblr–until I saw this post at the very top. Haha. Sucks that they couldn’t come to a resolution (do you even know what it was about?), but I’m glad that I won’t miss anymore posts!!

Hi Kimi! Here’s an article about why the two couldn’t get along: http://venturebeat.com/2014/08/07/tumblr-blocks-bloglovin-fashions-number-one-rss-reader-with-25m-users/

The new site looks great! Happy to see you back on Bloglovin.
The new blog is looking fabulous! Oddly the first thing I noticed was the cute little ampersand faveicon. Thankfully your old blog on my sidebar never stopped updating, so I didn’t miss a post, and is still working with the switch.

Thanks! The favicon was Dave’s idea, so I can’t take credit for that at all. 🙂
Yayy! So glad your posts are back in bloglovin! The new design looks amazing 😀
