I’m asked this quite a bit.

And today he’s as generous as usual by sharing with my peeps on Google’s blogger platform how to go about implementing Blogspot SEO. Now, words of wisdom from Mayura…...

If you live in NYC, stay home. It’s crap outside. I was hopeful when I heard there was a bit of snowing coming. Damian has been waiting months for snow. What did I get? Sleet. Blah. No great pictures of Damian and his little sister in awe of the snow, so I figured I’d share some pics from my Hurricane Sandy vacation. With the teens home, routine went out the window and the little ones barely napped. Instead I had many moments of this… a couple of these We played lots of this I caught one of these Then we did this the day...

Everyone was pinning… Funny how we can add ING to any word and just know everyone else will know what we’re talking about. twittering. googling. stumbling…as in stumble upon, not tripping over our own feet or our own words which both sometimes leads to a foot in your mouth. Anyway… Everyone was pinning. As in Pinterest-ing. Can you tell yet that my brain is muddled? Don’t leave. I have the flu. So bear with me. And I got the invites. From friends that were on Pinterest. Nobody gets an invite to the flu. Come on...

https://twitter.com/amy13phins/status/263044962621485056 This breaks my heart. And yes, I know there’s a lot more about this hurricane that should be breaking my heart at the moment. But this saddens me. On a personal level. It’s where hubby proposed to me April 2, 2006. We had went away to Atlantic City for a night. My first time out of NYC in 20 years. Also my last time out of NYC. This will definitely be my last Sandy post. We were left well and safe and intact and I thank God for that. The worst we had was last night...

Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames. Girl’s a coming. We can see it in the trees. They’re moving like they’re doing the shuffle. I’m always unprepared when it comes to storms. I mean really, we haven’t had it bad here in our part of NYC. We’re kinda inland, away from the ocean. So glad I don’t live in Brooklyn anymore. Our cupboards are stacked and i’ve got lots of water and toilet paper. Yes toilet paper. When you’ve got a family of 6, being sure you have enough toilet...

Blog looks awesome doesn’t it? like nothing’s changed? cause nothing has. after realizing i can not move a blog with 41 plugins, 635 pictures and 12+ subdomains, without days of work, i’ve kinda just stepped back from it. which sucks because i have a membership site for WP training to launch and i can’t do it until i move the blog. blah. sometimes…even when we know our stuff, even when we can do it for anybody else…we get overwhelmed when it comes to taking care of our own stuff. and we just need to step...
read moreBlog Moving Miseries
Within the past two weeks, my unix-guru tech friend Darin and I have moved 7 blogs from hostgator and that slick reseller’s hosting to Bluehost. Without. A. Hitch. Of course this blog’s move from godaddy has to be the streak breaker. Blah. This blog with it’s 10 subdomains for the free themes demos is 2GB large. Godaddy doesn’t like you downloading something that big. Also? Darin found a virus hanging out in my blog’s directory. Don’t want to take baggage with me to he new server, so we deleted all....
read moreIt Can’t Always Be About The Money
Excuse me while I gripe about bloggers being taken for a ride. In my blog moving adventures I’ve found that I’ve moved several blogs off reseller accounts to bigger brands. Bigger, more expensive hosting plans. It’s sad, because these bloggers didn’t need unlimited this and unlimited that. They just needed a host who understood WordPress and Hosting. Many bloggers, when making the move from Blogger to WordPress, go with their designer and signed up for the designer’s hosting. Not a bad move, unless your designer...
