Checking In, Catching Up, and Cutifying

Whassup?!

Yeah, I know that phrase got to be annoying as heck but it just seems to appropriate for this entry. You can't be mad at me though. I found a cute kitten pic just for you!

Although it seems like I've been gone for a long time, I really haven't. I was just wrapped up in my self-hosted WordPress version.

Until I accidentally crashed it.

Now, I'm debating whether I really want all the bother of self-hosted WordPress. True, the multisite installation totally rocks but I am not the same person I was a few months ago.

The WordPress and tech obsessed gal is still in there somewhere but now I'm all about streamlining and cutifying my life. I don't have a real need for all of the bells and whistles WordPress has and even if I did, there is probably a Blogger workaround for it.

Blogger is really more set-it-and-forget-it - something that really appeals to me now. I pay for it once a year, don't have to pay for plugins or upgrades, and don't have to worry about applying updates and how they will impact my code.

My WordPress installation broke because two of my main plugins didn't play well together. The last time that happened, I was S.O.L. because my host disappeared. Several months later, I still don't know what happened to her or the refund I asked for (prepaid fees).

This time, I have my own reseller account. I can go in and fix whatever is wrong myself but I just don't want to anymore. I'm not "just" another WordPress user. I am a mother, a homeschooler, a person with a life to live.

Yes, I know I could hire this out to someone but what's the point? I don't use most of the features anyway. I could save a lot of time, trouble, and money just by coming back to Blogger.
Which is why I'm here again.

Over the next few days, I plan to import my other posts on homescholing, traveling, camping, single parenting - life, in general - but for now, WHASSUP? How's it going? What have you been up to?

Have fun, stay safe, and G-d bless,
