changes | I Spy Edinburgh

A couple of months ago, I decided to make the leap from WordPress.com to WordPress.org and try the whole “self-hosted blog thing”. As it turns out, that just wasn’t for me. I made the decision based on the fact that it would be – hopefully – easier to share my Instagram “pic of the day” photo challenge. Long story short, it was and it wasn’t. Since then, my feelings have undergone so material a change (spot the Jane Austen quote) that I have come crawling back to WordPress.com, hat in hands, morose look on my face, pleading for forgiveness. I also now have the issue of several shiny posts on my WordPress.org blog that I don’t seem to be able to transfer over here… A dilemma, right? I have two options ahead of me. Spend hours (days? weeks?) trying to copy them over, or cut my losses, start again – and crack on with some new posts.

Watch this space, Internet. G x

PS. I promise my next post won’t be nearly as dull as this one!

I would still count myself as ‘new’ to WordPress. This has many disadvantages – for example, I’m only now learning how to properly categorize posts, set feature images, etc. but there is also a plus side (isn’t there always? Oh life and your silver linings) in that I get to make new and exciting discoveries basically all the time. Take today, I decided to give the blog a bit of an overhaul (check out the new header – ah, Edinburgh, you beauty) and in the processes discovered widgets! So now, you can follow me, my life and all my adventures on Instagram! Oh you lucky, lucky devils. And, should you fancy it, you can also check out my “To Read” shelf on GoodReads – the shelf which keeps on growing and growing and growing…! As always, recommendations are encouraged, there is always time for more books. Always.
Anyway, let me know what you think of the new look (or not, suit yourself!) I always love to hear what you think. G x

PS. So this post isn’t purely me rambling on, I give you my current iPhone wallpaper (sorry the image is so tiny!) I hope it makes you giggle like I do every time I see it. Oh, Darcy, Darcy, Darcy…
