Welcome to Lightening Online!

4. December 2007, 6:11 pm101 things I thought I'd never do, blogginglightening

If you’re reading this then you’ve obviously found me at my new website!  Isn’t it exciting????  I’m so excited I’m bouncing!!!!  I have to pinch myself to believe I have really gone to my own website!!!! I absolutely HAVE to add this to my “101 things I thought I’d never do” list!

Firstly, a MASSIVE thank you to Snoskred who has put in a MAMMOTH effort to get this up and running. Without her this would NEVER have happened. If you’ve not visited her site yet, please go and do that!!! And make sure you tell the world how wonderful she is because she truly deserves it!

Secondly, PLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEE make sure you add this site to whatever feed reader you like to use. I think if you click on the beautiful pink button to the side there (under the word “subscribe”) it will take you through the process.

Thirdly, if you have been so kind as to add me to a blogroll or similar, could you please change that to my new “address” so that people can find me. And if you want to mention this new site in a post and give me some “linky love” to help me along my way that would be SOOOOO appreciated too. If I understand correctly, I’m starting again at the bottom of the heap here and need a little leg up! :-)

Well, that’s all from me for now. This is a HUGE learning curve for me so please bear with me as I find my feet and my way around here. :-)

P.S.  I have SMILEYS!!!!  Real, live smiley faces instead of pretend sideways sort of smiley faces!!!!!  Cool  Laughing

    I have to say it looks brilliant, even if I was the one who modified it. ;)

    I’ve been looking at it for an awful lot of time over the last 24 hours and I’m still crazy about it. I think that is a sign of a great theme. ;)

    And I love that pink button, I’m getting me a blue one!

    Welcome to blogging on your own domains. I made the move myself a few weeks ago. It is a bit of a task getting the new blog the same recognition as the old one did - so I am happy to help you out by subscribing, adding to technorati etc :-) Good luck and happy blogging.

     
  10. Amy, 7. December 2007, 6:01

    Looks great. And I’ve re-subscribed to you.

    Woooohooooo!!!! Congratulations on your very own website!!! I am so excited for you! I have been meaning to update my link page for ages now… and might get there before Christmas….. LOL! You’ll get on my page eventually :)
    By the way, I just love the story of getting ready for church and missing buttons…. gee, that sounds SO familiar!

    It’s exciting, isn’t it? And that is a seriously beautiful pink button!

    Congratulations.

    Here I was thinking NO-ONE wanted to talk to me except Snoskred. And there are a whole heap of messages waiting for me to approve!!!! ROFLOL. Sorry, it’ll take me a while to get used to wordpress I think. :-)

    Meg - thankyou and thanks SO much for the mention on your blog today! :-)

    Kelli - thanks so much for reading AND for taking the time to comment. Does that mean now that you’ve broken the ice you’ll be back to comment again?????? LOL

    Kelley - I don’t know!!!! None of them are showing up! Waaaaahhhhhh. Is there somewhere I need to go turn that on? I will have a look around and see if I can work it out in the meantime.

    Cellobella - thanks so much! I need to get mine on here up and running too. I have started but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. I can’t believe how much there is to learn and to do.

    Sueblimely - Yeah, I was finally getting somewhere with the old one. But that’s okay, I’ll get there again. And with some great new friends, it might happen a bit faster this time! :-)

    Amy - thank you!

    Joy - thanks, I really appreciate it. Yes, these things always seem to happen when we don’t have time to deal with them. :-)

    Cerebralmum - that button appearing seriously made me cry!!!! I could not believe I had a PINK subscribe button. It’s the best present I’ve ever been given I’m sure! I also cried when I first saw it the header all done!!!! In fact, I’ve had a LOT of happy tears and bouncing (cos I bounce when I’m excited) over the past few days!!!!

    Ali - thank you. :-)

    Kacie - thanks, I’m glad you like it. :-)

    “H” - ROFLOL. Mmmm……Saturday hair……. *sigh* Thanks! :-)

    GUESS WHAT EVERYONE????? I HAVE SMILEYS!!!! REAL LIVE SMILEYS!!!! It’s nearly as exciting as my beautiful pink subscribe button - but not quite. :-)

    Congratulations on your new site. I will change your details in my blogroll (though not much traffic comes through there)
    Merry Christmas.

     
  18. Stacey, NSW, 7. December 2007, 17:29

    I read your blog every day (I’m a “lurker” from FIA) and find your posts to be very thoughtful and inspiring — keep it up!

     
  19. lightening, 7. December 2007, 18:29

    Hi Tracey - thanks so much for that and your comment. Merry Christmas to you too! :-)

    Hi Stacey - thank you so much for reading and for leaving me a comment to let me know. It’s lovely to hear from those who read - even if it’s just now and then. :-)

    Bettina - thank you. Let me know if you need any help with the whole subscribing bizzo! :-)

    Sarcastic Mom - thank you so much! :-) It takes a bit of time getting set up doesn’t it but you’ll be glad once you’ve made the move. :-)
