I really love living my life on the blog. I am pretty much am an open book and love to share my thoughts, dreams, adventures, successes, and mis-steps. So in full disclosure, I am thinking about making some changes to the blog.
The first change that I am thinking about making is transitioning from Blogger (my current blog host) to WordPress. Originally when I was beginning my blog, I signed up through WordPress and started designing the blog there. Then, I got a little further into the process and thought I should check out Blogger. My limited skills and my eagerness to just begin already made me a little frustrated with the limitations I (thought) WordPress had. Since I support most everything Google, I switched over to Blogger (powered by Google) and that is where I stand today. As I think about the functionality of my blog, the features it offers, and its room for growth, I am feeling a little limited by Blogger. Yet, I am also a little nervous to make the switch to WordPress.

I originally didn’t think I would post about this process like this. I first wanted to just make all the changes, announce that I had made all these wonderful changes, and bam, it would happen. Then I thought, maybe I should be more real and tell you what I am thinking, share my thoughts and concerns. That’s why I have this blog, right? So I am telling you as it is and also reaching out to my readers. Any great name ideas that you would let me use? Or, do you even think the name should change? Do you like “The Mego Blog”? Any feelings about WordPress or Blogger?
No problem! Glad you found some value in my thoughts – I don't think I really touched on WP fees, but I think they've been VERY reasonable for me. The annual fee for the domain is nothing in the long run (in my opinion). The only other fees I've had to pay come from extra storage (but you might not even need to go there) and a premium WP theme/design (again, this is optional – They have a ton of gorgeous free themes to choose from). If you need any more help, let me know! P.S. I love "Ginger Snapshot" too =)
Thanks for the extra info on the fees. From my research they did sound reasonable and worth it, especially with the other options WP offers. Also, thanks for the feedback on the name. I think I may be leaning towards "Ginger Snapshot" but I'm not 100% sure yet. It only 90% smacked my in the face with the "I love it" reaction. I'm sure it could build to 100% though…
