In My New Home — Safe and Sound
Well, the domain servers are already pointing to the new domain. I have all files transferred, the new version of WordPress installed and we are officially in bidnez over here at Holdfire (thanks, Maria for the tip!). Even the missing post from two days ago is showing up! How about them apples?!?
I know I’ve been a pain in the a$$ to the tech support guys, but think everything is resolved now to my satisfaction. They were great to work with and very patient with my interminable questions. You certainly can’t complain about the price — $30 for a year’s hosting for this blog. That’s compared to $107 at my previous host. While they were great to work with and had super tech support as well, I was having trouble justifying the expense for a blog that doesn’t earn much beyond pocket change. I’m very grateful for the experience at Bluehost.com — they were great and I highly recommend them if you need a full-featured web host.
Now I can relax, knowing that I not only have a great host who is responsive to my needs, but one that is affordable as well! No need to be a nervous Nellie now!
You know what the hardest part of this move was? Transferring my gallery images and my uploaded images from my old host over here. I don’t know why I had such a problem connecting to the old host via SmartFtp, but I did. Once I got that resolved, though, moving those files over was pretty painless and LOOK! Everything works! All the pictures are where they’re supposed to be! YEAH!
I feel like a WordPress rockstar now, but know I’m really just a noob when it’s all said and done.

Welcome home! I missed you!!
You know, Jordan would have moved your entire blog (include images, etc, if hosted at the same place) over for you, free of charge (assuming you were also using cPanel). But yay! I’m glad that I was able to refer someone now.
congrats for going everything well. happy blogging….
