Hello and welcome!
To those of you who have followed me over from Helen Loves Books, you’ll see that all my old content is still here (including your comments) – I wanted a fresh start with a new name and new look, but I didn’t want to lose all those reviews I’d worked so hard on! If you’re wondering about the new name, see the quote at the top of my sidebar (it’s not completely true because I do sometimes read the Sunday papers, but I’m much more likely to spend my Sundays with a novel).
There is one other change that you might notice – I’ve made the decision to remove my five star rating system. From now on my reviews will not be given conventional ratings, but if it’s a book I particularly enjoyed it will be marked as either Recommended or Highly Recommended. Other than that, everything else is the same.
To those of you who are visiting for the first time and are wondering what I’m talking about, I have just moved from Blogger to WordPress. I’ve successfully imported my old Blogger content but there may still be some broken links or things that just don’t look right – don’t worry, I’m going to be working on tidying things up over the next few days.
I hope you all like the new blog!
Congrats on a successful and pain-free move, Helen! I am still sticking with blogger, but your layout looks very nice and clean, so well done!
Thanks Aarti! I’m glad you like the layout. Moving my blog was a lot easier than I expected it to be. The only thing I’ve had a problem with is importing my blogroll.
I can’t tell what your blog looked like before, but I really like the new layout. Congratulations on the move and I hope to read a lot from you and discover many reading similarities here on WordPress.
Thanks Susi! There will probably be things I miss about Blogger, but so far I’m happy here at WordPress.
Welcome to your new home! I really like the new name you picked.
Thanks for the welcome, Nymeth! I’m glad you like the name.
I like the new look and how nice that it all transferred over seamlessly! I am definitely still going to “follow” you!
Thank you!
I also am with WordPress because I think it’s better for me. Glad that everything is fine. I will follow your blog from now on:)
Thanks Andreea – I’m following your blog too. 🙂
The new blog is lovely. I love wordpress. Everything is just so much more easier and streamlined. And less chaotic. 🙂
Thanks Mae – I’m glad you like it. 🙂
I visited you and posted yesterday after finding you via another site. Your layout looks attractive and I look forward to following your blog.
Thanks Linda. It’s nice to meet you. 🙂
