Hello, Friends! I apologize for making two posts in one day but I hope this note finds you well. 🙂 The reason for this update is to make you all aware that I have switched host sites and now booomcha.com is self-hosted!
This has been a huge learning experience for me but so far, it’s been worth it. If you know anything about me, you know that I can’t leave my site alone. I am constantly coding and changing things, tweaking here and there. Well, I found wordpress.com to be too restrictive in the types of coding they allow. I still think they provide an excellent service and would recommend them, for sure. I just needed to hop out of the box I felt like I was in. lol
Speaking of changing things, this is also an FYI that tomorrow (March 8), I may be switching themes. I will try to make that as painless for you as possible, though. 🙂
This site should pretty much appear the same to you because I’m using wordpress.org software. Thankfully, I will still appear in your reader whenever anything is published. All my followers were successfully migrated here from wordpress.com, but if there are any issues, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Once again, thank you for your support, the love you’ve always shown me, and the encouragement. I truly love this community.

Hi, RoseMaryMarie, congratulations on your new location and self-hosting!
Thank you so much, Vyvian! I appreciate your kind words. <3
You’re welcome.
Congratulations on making the jump! This seems like the perfect step for you. 🙂
Thank you so much, Heather. <3 So far, I'm loving the freedom to get all geeky with the site. LOL
Yay! I’m so glad that I didn’t get left behind! 😀
Me, too! LOL 😀 I had my fingers, eyes and toes all crossed, hoping it wouldn’t get messed up. LOL 😛
That’s fantastic for you 😀 I’ve considered doing the same myself, but I was afraid of losing everything – but the transition seems really smooth from our end 🙂 For a sec there I was afraid I’d lose your posts in my reader, but thankfully that’s not the case <3
Guess I know where to ask for advice if I do make the jump some day 😀
Thank you, Louise! 🙂 It looks like all I lost are my likes on my posts. As long as I still have the comments, I’m happy. lol 😀 I’m thinking about removing the like button from the comments because it seems to take a long to load.
Anyway, even though I’m not using wordpress.com, I installed Jetpack and can use the reader. (Jes2G taught me that one! lol)
Are you leaving wordpress.?
I left wordpress.com and am using wordpress.org. They are nearly the same thing except that on wordpress.org, I pay for self-hosting. 🙂
wow congratulations ! So what does it means for your story? I have to follow an other blog?
Thank you 🙂 No, you don’t have to do a thing. My posts will still show up in the Reader. 😀
Thank you for explaning me. I don’t like following several blogs of the same person too much.
You’re welcome. <3 I can understand how you feel.
Indeed that’s not fun at all when people has 10 blogs haha !
LOL It’s difficult to keep track of, that’s for sure. 😀
That’s one of the reason I don’t like myself getting two blogs but wp isn’t cheap.
You’re right about that. That’s why all my stories are on one blog instead of spread over several blogs.
I can’t pay so I do what I can to bound both. That’s the reason why I made a table of content for my second blog in this to make the things easy.
Yes, that was a really good idea. It’s a good way to stay organized.
Thank you, indeed and also to make notice both are “the same blog”
because I got a second blog attached to my main one (this account) and that’s horrible itself.
LOL!

Great for you becoming self-hosted! Your announcement reached me without any problems, so I’ll be following you here from now on! 😀
Thank you so much! What a relief you got the announcement along the normal channels. 😀 I’m so glad to know that. Thank you, as always, for following.
Good luck again Kym! It’s important for yoi
For you to feel good!
Here is the rest of what you were saying. LOL 😀 I feel very good about this. Thank you again.
Thank you so much, Jowita! 🙂
Oh, that’s cool! I didn’t notice anything as this just popped up in my reader~
I love how you constantly change things up 🙂 Part of the fun in running a site/blog is the creativity you can express in not just your writing but how things look/are presented. It’s quite fun XD Best of luck with the new site <3
Thank you, Amy! 🙂 I’m glad you didn’t notice. I was hoping it would be a smooth transition.
You said it! I can’t stop tweaking because I love it so much. It’s a way I can show my creativity. 😀
Awesome! I was going to self host my site as well, but decided to hold off on it.
Thank you so much. <3 I'd been kicking the idea around for a really long time but was afraid I might lose major things in the migration process. You do lose your "likes," but I still have the comments, so I'm happy. :)
As long as you write it, I’ll read it no matter where you are! 😀
Thank you, Rosie! <3 You are so sweet to say that. :)
Anywhere you go, we will follow!! =D You are the author, so it is important that you are comfortable in the writing and publishing process. Good luck with the new location, and congratulations on becoming self-hosted!! ♥
Thank you so much, Marj! <3 Your words of encouragement are so good to hear!
