The Shopping Mama Update

The Shopping Mama buttonAnyone have any time to spare?  Because if you do, please send it my way.  I’ve got lots of my plate with the baby giveaways and new blog, but I just need to take a minute to a) vent and b) thank you for your patience.

As you know I’ve switched blogging platforms from Blogger to WordPress.  Cat from 3 Kids and Us did a great job getting everything moved over from the old blog, but there were a few bumps in the that cannot be fixed. Not all of the comments on recent giveaways transferred over.  BUT, do not worry! They still exist and are still valid! I can see them and will count them when drawing winners for each and every contest.  So you don’t need to re-enter or do anything special. Just know that it’s all good and will not be an issue moving forward.

As you may have noticed the giveaway links changed so if you Tweet or Blog for extra entries into giveaways, I’d be forever grateful if you can update to include the NEW LINKS. Thanks!

I’m still getting used to the new template – and trying to work through some kinks. The blog is getting to where I want it to be but, honestly, isn’t there yet.  I have to admit that this is a hard position for me to be in and I hate that I feel that I’m not putting my best foot forward, so to speak, because the blog doesn’t look like I want it to.

In the meantime, as I try to figure out how to make the blog work, there are some AMAZING giveaways ongoing and coming up. Need some extra money for holiday shopping – and who doesn’t? Well, I have you covered with mega gift certificates, so look for those giveaways next week!

Thanks for hanging with me!

      Thank you! It’s been a process, that’s for sure. It’s still not where I want it but I’ll get there.

    Hey, Kate! I love the new design! It looks great! It’s so professional!

    I am in the process of moving from Blogger to my domain, too. I am doing most of it myself. I cannot figure out a few things though and it’s driving me nuts! How did you keep the old feedburner e-mail subscriptions with your new domain?

    Congrats on your new look!
