Yesterday The Art of an Improbable Life made the switch from WordPress.com to its own hosted site, and it appears that in the process all of my followers may have disappeared. Yikes!
I’m hoping you can help me figure this out. If you automatically received this post today, would you be so kind as to leave me a comment and let me know? I truly appreciate your support! Crossing fingers and toes you’re all still out there!
Becky, Now I got why I was not receiving any update of your posts.
Looks like you’re getting them now, I assume? Hopefully it is all figured out.
Just wanted to reply that I got your email automatically…so, things are working well. Congrats on the book, by the way. Very happy for you. Happy writing.
Thank you Cristina! I’m still working out some kinks, but for the most part all is well. Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for your good wishes about the book.
still here…
Great! Thanks for letting me know.
I got the notification of this post. I’m on wordpress so would like to know, what’s the advantage of hosting your own site?
Thanks, Monica. So glad you’re still along for the ride! I switched for a variety of reasons. One reason is that I didn’t want random ads on my blog–especially since I didn’t endorse them or get paid for them. WordPress.com does that so it can remain a free service for all of us to use.
I’m also thinking about down the road in terms of what I may want to do with my author website–something I’m starting to design. WordPress.com (as opposed to WordPress.org) has some restrictions and I wanted to keep all of my options open as ideas percolate.
Oh, interesting. That makes sense, then. I don’t know how to design my own, and I haven’t really seen the ads on my site yet, but now I’ll keep an eye out. Would love to know how it goes for you. Glad you didn’t lose your subscribers and were able to “take us” with you!
Got it!
Thanks, Kay!

Thanks, Claudia. I haven’t posted since last Friday because of the transfer. It looks like it is all going to work out just fine. Thank goodness!
