| How to Have More Time |
It’s hard to believe it’s March already. I had some things in mind I wanted to
accomplish this year, one of which was figuring out what to do about my blog
situation.
I’ve been writing here on the whatnot shop since 2009, but
sometime in the last year I decided to purchase a domain name to use as my
official writer page, Linda G Hatton. In the meantime, I started a WordPress
blog with that same name.
I had three pages going, plus Mouse Tales Press (which I
also intend to redesign this year).
Finding inspiration from my friend, Carol (see below for her
blogs), I finally redirected the whatnot shop (the header name of this page) to Linda G Hatton (the new URL).
Am I being confusing?
Look up. Although my header is still
the whatnot shop, if a visitor types whatnotshop.blogspot.com in, they will be
brought to www.LindaGHatton.com.
It’s so exciting! (I admit I’m easily amused.)
So how did I do it?
So how did I do it?
How to Redirect Your
Blog
You need to redirect your blog to point to the new domain. Log
into the website where you purchased your domain name. And although I learned
how to do this . . . *cough* . . . years ago when I took web design classes, I
needed to refresh my memory. So I followed the steps at this awesome page I
found and that is where I am redirecting you. (Yes, click on "awesome page.")
Perfect!
If you have any questions, I’d be happy to try to help. Just
put them into the comments section and I’ll see what I can do.
Cleaning up Your Blog
Trails
For now I don’t have to worry about taking down my former
Linda G Hatton site (which I had created using Weebly); it’s already gone.
My next step is posting an announcement on my WordPress blog
that I am no longer posting there and to visit my new site (this one) for current updates.
I am thrilled to have my websites nearly consolidated. I
already feel a weight lifted at the amount of time it’s going to save me.
And now I have more time for doing other things like
writing, copyediting, and taking photographs. Here is one I took a while back:

And dare I say it? Maybe even more time for blogging!
