BRAND. SPANKIN’. NEW.

Can I just tell you how giddy I am right now? Today has been a magnificent day! If you’re reading this in a reader, I highly suggest you click on over and check out my BRAND NEW DESIGN. And not only that: I’M ON WORDPRESS!

I have been working with Doniree and Nico for the past few weeks to get all of my content moved over from Blogger to self-hosted WordPress. It’s something I have wanted to do for the longest time, but I had no idea where to begin. I am not tech-savvy and I get overwhelmed easily when it comes to these types of things, so putting it in her capable hands was the perfect solution. She was such a joy to work with and always kept me informed of what was going on behind the scenes.

Not only that, but I worked with Ashley on a brand-new header. It’s the prettiest header I have ever seen! When I saw the screenshot on it (while out dress shopping with my mom, no less!), I literally gasped. It was perfect, from the colors to the design to the font. So completely, 100% me.

So here’s my plug: If you are thinking of the move to WordPress, please contact Doniree. She is prompt with her responses and so completely knowledgeable of WordPress and the Thesis template. You are in extremely good hands with her! She offers more services, so get in touch with her if you’re looking for ways to spice up your blog.

And the same goes for Ashley, so wonderful to work with. Her designs are some of the best I’ve seen, so creative and different. She is my go-to gal for design work! And her prices are extremely reasonable for any blogger on a budget!

As an added disclaimer, they did not ask me to say anything about how wonderful they are. I just love them so much, I had to say something! They are fabulous, fabulous ladies.

I promise a life update sometime next week! Right now, I’m off to find my mom the perfect mother-of-the-groom dress. (I’ve been promised a yummy dinner afterward!)

Have you ever made the jump from Blogger to WordPress? Any WordPress/Thesis tips I should know?

    It looks awesome Steph!

    I’m still on Blogger. I’ve used it for so long that I’m not sure I’ll ever switch.

    Ashley did my header, as well as helped me redo the design and color scheme of my blog a couple of years ago. I couldn’t possibly be happier.

    This is going to maybe sound weird, but I kinda feel like I went through this with you through e-mails and texts and whatnot, and I’m like SO excited now that I get to see the final product! GIRL, it’s SO awesome. I’m so happy you’re over at WordPress you’re gonna have an amazing time playing around with it.

    I’m going to e-mail you back probably tonight or tomorrow, depending what time my nephew falls asleep… I may stare at HIM all night since I haven’t seen him in FOREVER lol. Okay this is becoming an e-mail somehow.

    Point being… Awesomely awesome new blog, congrats, and you’re slowly convincing me that these are the people I need to be contacting for a blog layout hehe 🙂

    Love it – so YOU! 🙂 I am still on Blogger, and I don’t see myself ever switching. I had free WordPress for about a year, but it wasn’t for me and I made my way back ha!
