Migrating to Wordpress Advice

Update: I don't think Wordpress is going to work out for me after all.

Since I've found that you all are the most helpful and supportive readers in the world :), I'd like to ask if anyone has any experience and advice on migrating a blog, specifically this one, from Blogger to Wordpress. You can email me directly at lauracoulterfreelance at yahoo.com.

Thanks,
Laura

Feedback Request - Curriculum Writing

You all are very good about providing the feedback I need to tweak this blog. Thanks so much for all your encouragement and input. I have another tweak to make and need to know what you think.

Should I list curriculum writing and developing jobs that are outside of the education realm? Many businesses need training developed for their employees. Folks who have a background in education would probably be good at this. My question to you is should I include those leads in this blog as well? I will base my decision on the feedback you give.

Please post your responses on the blog itself, if you're willing. If you reply to the email you get daily from this blog, it comes directly to me and no one else gets to see it. I really don't mind those emails and they are definitely feedback, but I would like for others to see the responses as well.

Thanks,
Laura

Moving Day Denied

Last Thursday was moving day. Well, it was supposed to be moving day. The buyers for my current house fell through. Yuck. So I didn't buy my new house. It was a great tragedy for us all. I really wanted that family in my house because I knew they would love it as much as I did.

Yesterday, my agent looked up how many houses were being put back on the market in Austin over the past few days, just to see if we were an exception to the rule. What she found was a relief (I'm not alone) and disheartening at the same time. Yesterday, 7 homes were put back on the market. The day before, 21. The day before that 44! My agent says it is the mortgage industry that is killing all these home sales.

So, I took a few days to recover emotionally. I should be back in the swing of posting regularly.

Laura

P.S. The one good thing that came out of this is a very clean house.

Moving Day Approaches!

It's been an incredibly busy summer, and it's not over yet. I will not be able to post the rest of this week because I am eyeball deep in packing to move into our new home on Thursday (and then unpacking *sigh*).

I will need a few days to get my bearings (and perhaps internet access), so I won't be able to focus on this blog. If you don't see a post on Monday, then I was unsuccessful in getting internet access hooked up and will get it as soon as possible. Wish me luck!
