But you want a 90% reduction of the average...therefore you want 10% of the average. I think I'm going to ask my mum to check my calculations though!! At least we're under the national average :) I went to change the bedroom light to a CFL today and I can't reach even standing on a chair! I'll have to see if Peter can reach.

Sorry my own laziness has led to confusion on your behalf. :-) Basically, you choose other bloggers who'd you'd like to do this meme and instead of going.... 1. YOU 2. You etc like I did. You list the names of those bloggers as a link to their blog. Then go to their blogs and leave a comment along the lines of "I've tagged you for a meme. Details on my blog" and they'll come and have a look. :-) Hope that helps. Thanks Naomi.

I LOVE my new blog. Wordpress has taken some getting used to after using blogger. I do think blogger is well set up for beginners - however, once you get your head around the basics, it actually ends up being HARDER (in my opinion) as there are less options than what wordpress offers (which net savvy people know how to get around but I don't). I also have a free wordpress blog (wordpress.com) and having that did help a little when I switched this blog over. If you're going to do it, I'd be looking to do it while you're on holidays so you have the time to explore a little. The wonderful thing about wordpress is that there are some fantastic people around very willing to help you get your head around the basics. Yes, I am using Snoskreds server. She did pretty much everything for me in terms of getting my blog here. I chose the template, a range of colours and the header graphic and she put it all together. Get in touch with her - she is EXTREMELY helpful (and very nice) and NEVER made me feel like an idiot for not knowing stuff. I'm learning that the best way to learn is to go ahead and do it (with some help). :-) You will need to organise your own domain. But it's worth emailing Snoskred first as she can give you some server information and point you in the right direction with that as well. :-) That can cost you anywhere from $10 - $30 a year (or $2000 as I discovered if I wanted to use lightening.net!!!!!). If you have any other questions, ask away. Either here or via my contact form. :-) I have to say it’s the BEST decision I’ve ever made!!!! I LOVE my new blog.

Was it hard to shift across from Blogspot? (I'm very computer-phobic....) Are you using Snoskred's server? I assume you are. I don't like the look of my blog, but I don't want to spend all of my holidays swearing at the computer for sucking up my time if it takes an age to change over. (Still, on the other hand, I HAVE the time now...) As you can tell, I'm in a bit of a swither about it. Can you let me know your experiences with it all? It's one of those things that is scary to comtemplate, but that you have a sinking feeling that you're going to have to do sooner or later.....
