I started this blog here because I wanted somewhere else to post where I wasn’t always feeling like I couldn’t write freely. I couldn’t write like I felt I wanted to over there at Snarky Kisses because I always felt that others were reading that I didn’t want to read (i.e. family, real life people, etc).
As you know, BlogHer is rolling up and in exactly one month as of yesterday, I will be flying into LaGuardia airport in Queens, NY. I am rooming with Kim at Live from the 205 or @kimt205 on Twitter.
Anyways, about BlogHer… I went last year as well, and it was such a blast; and while there, I was obviously not a “big blogger”, I didn’t have a well known name, and I didn’t have all the full pass for BlogHer. I just had the LobbyCon pass which pretty much allowed me into all the parties and expo hall, just not into the actual conference presentations. It was fine for a first timer, but this year, the first day the BlogHer 2010 passes went for sale, I snatched one up! My point to this entire post is just that, “I’m not a big name blogger, my blog name isn’t well known by ANY means” and because of that, I have an icky taste in my mouth about changing my blog name to Growing Within so close to BlogHer this year. I was extremely surprised at the people who DID know @snarkykisses last year, and I’m not sure I want to change that. I guess, you know, I could just have my name on my badge be @snarkykisses but my blog could go to Growing-Within.com… I’m just not sure.
I did however this past weekend, purchase the Thesis 1.7 theme for WordPress. Because of that and the fact that I spent $87 on the Thesis theme (that I’m going to edit myself and doctor up with mah skillz), I’m going to be heading back over to WordPress. I’m not 100% sure if I’m going to be going back to Snarky Kisses, but I do know I’m going back to WP. I was a bit perplexed on what I wanted to do but ultimately, even though I thoroughly enjoy Blogger… it just isn’t WordPress. Know what I mean?
So, because of that, I’ll invite you all back on over to my WP home, at Snarky Kisses.
From there, I truly don’t know what I plan to do about the name of the blog. I know there are others out there having the same issues as I, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let this little blegh feeling of mine throw me completely out of the blog world. I need this too much believe it or not since I never seem to post anymore to just let it go; it’s not me, and quite frankly, it’s my social life and sometimes sanity.
And, besides… there could be nitty gritty deets coming up, and quite frankly, I need to have a place to come empty my mind from time to time.
