Darling Dust Bunnies -
This 'DavidDust In Exile' thing is making me a little crazy. Prior to yesterday's "lockout", I feel like my blog was gaining readership, gathering momentum and was on a roll. I was interacting with some of the people I blogged about - and even had some feelers out for more interviews. I just got a fancy new header, and in exactly three weeks, it will be my (and OUR) 1 year blogiversary. I love this blog ALMOST as much as I love Arby's, and I feel like this lockout situation has stopped all the momentum I was building.
I have been all over the Internet today trying to find out as much information as I could. First of all, I purchased http://www.daviddust.com/. I have been meaning to do that for a while now, and this situation finally prompted me to act. But because I am computer-challenged, the idea of actually setting up my very own website scares the bejeebus outta me. Even with Kitty's pledge of help.
The second thing I did was figure out how to import my ENTIRE blog onto WordPress. At http://daviddust.wordpress.com/, you will find my 1,200+ posts and your 5,700+ comments, all intact. I can update, post, and do everything I could over at Blogspot. At the very least, this is an excellent backup in case of a Blogger crash or a permanent deletion of my blog.
So my question to you all is this - what should I do now? Should I continue to blog here at GailsFunbags while I wait for Blogger to let me back into DavidDust - or should I just move over to WordPress altogether (but I want MY HEADER!!!!)? If I DO change over to WordPress, how can I redirect my Blogspot URL to WordPress (I know it can be done, but it looks confusing - and I'm scared I'll screw shit up). And what should I do with http://www.daviddust.com/?
Any and all advice is welcome, because I'm feeling somewhat overwhelmed by it all. Please let me know what you think, either in the comments or via email at daviddust.gmail.com
Thank you, my dumplings - and have a great weekend.
Holla! (sorry, I can't help it)
XOXO
