Home Again…..{I moved to Word Press}
So are you liking my new digs? I hope you like the new place as much as I do!
I can finally call this…….Home!
Thanks for putting up with a few weeks of craziness around here…..hopefully it wasn’t too much of an inconvenience for you. I promise, in the long run, you will see this was a good decision…..for all of us!
You have no idea how much I enjoy this blog and all of you who come to visit! Blogging is such a great outlet and place to share.
Please make sure you have the correct blog address TidyMom.net
yes, I have been using that for months, but you were actually being directed to blogger. Now TidyMom.net is self hosted thanks to the wonderful people at Eleven2!! Eleven2 is a homegrown business that services over 72,000 websites, and happen to be personal friends of Kristen’s…….and if Kristen thinks they’re good enough to host WeAreThatFamily…..then that’s good enough for me!
Now here’s where I need to ask YOU for a little favor…….
Can you please update your bookmarks, and subscriptions? You will be redirected her if you use an old link……but it just make things SO much easier if you have the correct links.
If you subscribe in a reader……..
If you like to subscribe by email……
If you like to use Google Friends Connect, there should be no change, but you can click the box down at the very bottom of the page to be sure.
Facebook and Twitter and my Tumblr blog remain the same.
If you have a TidyMom button could I beg of you to change it to my new one? If you don’t have one, I would LOVE for you to take one! 😉
click here for the code
Take a look around, there are drop downs in the menu navigation bar up top, there are links to some favorite recipes on the right (these will change periodically), and social networking buttons at the top and bottom of each post.
If you have question or trouble finding something, just let me know.
I could NOT have done this with out some amazing people that deserve ALL the credit! Apparently moving over 500 posts and 59,000 comments is no easy task!
My amazingly talented friend Cathe Holden of Just Something I Made and Home Grown Logos made my AWESOME TidyMom logo, banner, social icon button (custom made just for moi) and other design elements.
If you don’t already visit Cathe’s blog Just Something I Made then you should, she is SOOO talented and VERY generous, she is always sharing free downloads!
Tonya of Lucky Girl Design Studio got me set up on Word Press, installed my awesome Pixel Happy Theme by StudioPress and added all of Cathe’s beautiful elements for me! Tonya does some awesome blog design work as well for both Blogger and WordPress.
So there you go…….thanks for hanging around thru all the mess. If you spot something not working right, I would love for you to let me know!
Now that I have the blog finished….I’d love to hear what YOU would like to see more of on TidyMom ? more recipes? (what kind?) more giveaways? more crafts? more household tips? more features of what I find around the web?…..something else?……..Let me hear it!
*I did want to point out that the link to leave a comment is now ABOVE the post (right under the post title, next to the date)…..NOT at the bottom of the post like it used to be.
Because moving to Word Press “Works For ME”…….I’m linking up here
Ah thanks for the reminder. I use google reader to read blogs but forgot about your link on my blog. Off to fix it!
Oh and I am partial to the recipes and crafts. But keep all that other stuff too!
Cheryl….your “new” blog is just beautiful! I love everything about it….the colors, the graphics (yay, Cathe!), the header, the layout! It looks so modern, yet still homey. I’m honored that Bake at 350 is over in your sidebar!!! 🙂
What would I like to see more of? More of the same! Love your mix of hints, recipes, crafts, photography, giveaways….everything! I ? TidyMom!!!
Sure looks nice around here!
It looks really nice! I’m waiting patiently for my blog redesign as well. Looking at yours makes me anxious for the day I can finally be “home” with my blog as well! Congrats on the redesign!
Love the new site-It is clean and tidy-Wow!
You certainly had a wonderful team working behind the scenes with you to make this re-design appear seamless. Your new blog design is welcoming, engaging, cute, informative and organized! There is a lot of information here but it is all neat and easily accessible. A place for everything….I love it and just want to continuing seeing whatever Tidymom wants to posts about.
p.s. thanks for linking to all your talented design helpers
Its beautiful!! And some wonderful people really contributed to your success… I cant wait to check them all out!!!
Blessings-
Amanda

Love to see my baby ( PixelHappy ) used in such a beautiful way. Your team did a great job… speaking as a blog designer myself, it’s always much harder than it looks.
hats off to you and to each person behind the scenes who made it work!
Great job, girls.
xo,
Darcy
Thanks Darcy!!! I knew I would love it as soon as I knew YOU were the brains behind it!

Looks nice…I just wish some of the sky blue colored words were a little darker, I am having a hard time reading them, sorry. Otherwise looking good!
I clicked on the email subscription link you sent and it gave me a feedburner box, typed in my address and it said I was already subscribed so I did not need to resubscribe.
ALSO you said comment box would be at the top which I thought was a great idea, but it isn’t. Another couple of blogs have put it at the top on their giveaway post and I LUV it. You don’t have to scroll thru all the comments and it’s right up where the extra entries are so you don;t have to go up and down.
I do not see a list of current giveaways in the side bar either, didn’t you have one b4? I like when it is right there to see with the ending dates so I don’t miss one.
As you can tell I would luv more giveaways.
You should do a survey to see what kind your viewers want. I like books & cookbooks, food & cooking products, gardening, jewelry, electronics and teenage kid items,
I also like all things “green” giveaways, tips etc and frugal living tips.
Oh and more recipes, you have some great recipes.
I hope all this helps, thanks for asking!
Thanks for all the input….
There are no giveaways listed on the sidebar right now, because there is no current giveaway. But I do have a few lined up and that will be back up!!
It looks awesome. Love it! Don’t you LOVE WordPress??
