Becoming Left-Handed

A New Blog is Born!

Today's a really exciting day for me as I launch my new blog, Becoming Write-Handed. 

First of all, thanks to all you faithful readers of Becoming Left-Handed.  Your comments have meant a lot to me as I told my story of being engaged and planning a wedding and getting married.  And thanks to all of you who submitted names and voted on names for the new blog - that was so fun!

Now, just 2 months into my married life, I am using my blogging experience on Becoming Left-Handed to launch a whole new blog focused on writing and my experiences as a ... well, just as me.  I hope you will enjoy the new format, the new stories, and the new voice.

I will still write on this blog from time to time, as I will certainly have "wifely" stories to tell about being a  newlywed! 

Another exciting development is that I was able to buy the domain names for both my blogs, and they are now mapped accordingly.  So, you can add www.becominglefthanded.com and www.becomingwritehanded.com to your bookmarks and you don't have to remember that long address that includes "typepad" in it (although of course that will still work!)

Please tell me what you think of the new blog and tell your friends, too!

I got a dot-com!

Okay, I'm really excited about this - after a year of blogging and a month of scratching my head, I found out how to get the address www.becominglefthanded.com to point to this blog.  No more .typepad in my address!

This makes it look so official!!

I am working on my other blog, soon to be open for you to read.  I've already started writing there and now I'm just working out the gritty details.

Weeee!!

Wow, blogging is complicated

I'll keep this short, since I'm at work and that means I should be thinking up profound statements about blogging, rather than sitting here on our first snowy day of the year, blogging.

I am trying to start Becoming Write-Handed as a new blog. So I optimistically upgrade my Typepad membership and start the process.  I choose a layout, a theme, a color palette, and a new photo. I get all the way to the part about choosing my domain name, and bam!  This gets hard.

I want becomingwritehanded.com to be my new blog.  But Typepad doesn't actually allow me to buy that domain name. I have to buy it somewhere else and point it to Typepad, or I have to end my relationship with Typepad and start a new site on host site like BlueHost that will also support blogging.

I am turning 2-3 hours of computer headache into 2-3 paragraphs, and making it look pretty.

Anyway, just know that I am working on it, and I am overwhelmed, and I really, really want to launch my new pet project ASAP but it's taking me a little while.

Thanks,
Marti
