BIG CHANGES AT STONEGABLE... COMING SOON!





I have been keeping a secret for a few months... and it has been hard not to give it away! Thank goodness I can finally tell you today!!!

After 4 1/2 year of blogging and 1,457 posts I am finally moving to WORDPRESS.... and my blog is being totally redesigned!





I have been working with Julie at BLOGGER BOUTIQUE for months to make StoneGable even better and more user friendly! AND  StoneGable will have a new, fresh look without loosing my signature style (lots of big images).

The day has finally come!!!! It is moving day!


So what does that mean for my readers?


It means no new posts for a few days... I have so many posts and pictures to move that the whole process might take up to 3 days! 

You can still enjoy all of my past posts and dive into my archives for inspiration... all 1,456 previous posts!

Or you can follow me on FACEBOOKTWITTERPINTEREST or INSTAGRAM where I'll be hanging out!

And when I am finally moved to Wordpress, I will begin posting new material right away. It may take a little while before I learn the Wordpress ropes. So please be patient while I learn how to navigate this new system.

The end goal is to give StoneGable a new, fresh and friendly look and to help bring more and better material to my dear readers.

I love the idea of moving forward and improving StoneGable!

Let's do it together!

  2. See you on the flip side. Please keep track of lessons learned while making this transition - it'll help those of us who choose to do it later. :)

  20. Cheers to a bigger and better blog..is that possible?? You have such a wonderful blog already:) Good luck cannot wait until the big reveal!

  21. Good luck! I don't like having to fill in info everytime to leave a comment though. If that is the one Susan bnotp switched to. I have to fill it out everytime to comment from my ipad, so I don't, lol! I don't see any difference on the readers end, but maybe on yours it is better.

  22. Fancy Shmancy. ;) I see no difference either, on my end as far as the reading goes, but... I have also stopped other blogs who converted just because they make it difficult for us to comment. I will suck it up with yours though since I enjoy it so much. I only read 2 blogs anymore and yours happens to be one. :) Good luck.

    1. How sweet, Nancy. There are many good reasons to switch to Wordpress... they are technical... but the biggest reason is that I will own all my content. With blogger, they own half.

  23. I switched earlier this year, and made the changes myself, which was part of the problem. It was a rough journey, but overall, I'm glad I did it. I think any work at all involving technology will certainly have occasional glitches.
    Good luck, and can't wait to see the "new you!"

  26. Yvonne -- I know it's going to be fabulous because YOU are fabulous! Best of luck on the blog's facelift.

  27. I agree, I haven't loved commenting on wordpress, they make it such a pain. Maybe someone can convince them to change that format!
    Good luck with the move!
