You Found Me!

Yay, you found me! I recently moved my blog from http://leadingthegoodlife.wordpress.com to this new, cushy, self-hosted home: http://www.leadingthegoodlife.net!

There are many reasons to self-host your blog, but I was really after a permanent home that was easy to remember and more 'official.' I started my blog not knowing how I'd like it, so the free '.wordpress' spot was just fine with me. However, as the months ticked on and I found myself wanting this to be a long-term commitment, the desire to purchase my own domain name got stronger. I knew it would just get harder and harder to transfer as I increased my number of posts, pictures, and viewers. With the Healthy Living Summit quickly approaching (Friday!!), I figured it was a good time to make it official. After all, I'll (hopefully) be sharing my new address with 200 other bloggers/readers!

If you are interested in moving to a self-hosted site, I strongly recommend the instructions Matt put together on Health Blog Helper. Following his step-by-step guidance, I was able to set up and transfer my blog without any glitches - and quite quickly! I'd say the whole thing only took about an hour and a half from start to finish. And it was late, so I was probably moving slowly.

Again, thanks for reading - and for finding me! Don't forget to update your bookmarks and email subscriptions to my new address, http://www.leadingthegoodlife.net. You can sign up for email updates on the right-hand sidebar.
