Now I Can Breathe and Celebrate

Finally it seems everything (well, almost everything) is back up and running here the way that it should be.
I have had a few problems after changing my hosting – note to self – when changing hosts and doing a backup of your blog and necessary files, don’t leave them on the desktop of your computer and make sure that the backups etc have worked before you pull the pin on the old one. Bloody blondes, can’t be trusted.
After many hours days weeks of anguish and stress, it seems I have finally got it all to work. No mean feat let me tell you. A few times I thought that I had it right but then it all went pear shaped. I needed to slow down and go through the processes very methodically so that nothing got missed.
With several tabs open (about 15!!!!) in Firefox and at least one Filezilla window open, along with emails etc, I was chopping and changing between cpanel and FTP, as well as retrieving emailed files. It was scary for a while but I made it. And I have learnt so much, even in the last couple of days. I almost think that it was worth doing for what I have learnt, let alone the satisfaction of knowing that it all finally worked.
The only thing that I am not sure about is my feeds. So if you have come here via one of the feed readers, please let me know in the comments. I don’t know if its something that will fix itself in time (hopefully not too long) or if there is a major error somewhere that I need to fix.
Oh and because I wasn’t breathing whilst being so stressed about breaking my blog, I completely missed my blogging anniversary – it was February 10. 12 months – where has that gone????
Its been a great year and I have really enjoyed blogging and getting to know so many other wonderful people. Here’s to another year or more of blogging and getting to know more bloggers and read their blogs.

good for you!!
I was so worried about changing mine over to self hosting, but it was a lot easier than I had built it up in my head to be…………….. and I only managed to delete my blog once by accident while I was doing it! lol
Happy blogoversary!
biatch.
You didn’t stuff up your feeds like I did!
What a ride huh?
(and yes, I came from google reader)
Happy Birthday, Gem !!!!
Hope you have a good one
Yay for getting switched over! I saw you in my feed reader as usual, so that still works just fine.
You’re up and running again. Yay!!!
I’ve heard a little rumour that someone is having a birthday. Have a great one.
I popped over here from Bloglines
You are doing better than me on the selfhosting. I ended up giving up and just sticking with wordpress hosting.
Belated happy birthday
Now I’ll know who to come to if I decide to do something like that! REALLY hoping I won’t need to when my domain expires – later this year (I took out a 2 year thingy).
Anyway, looks like you’ve done well and happy blogoversary.
Happy belated blogaversary! Good to see you back and posting again.
I would have no idea where to start with all of that stuff but I know who to come to if I ever need help!
Happy Blog-Birthday for the other week
Glad you are back up and running.
Happy Blogaversary.
Hey Gem!
I’m impressed I could never do what you did. I’d probably have a heart attack first. If anything ever happened to my blog connection I’m afraid I’d be lost. You done good! And happy blogoversary!
Hugs

PS: Being blonde is a good thing – just keep telling yourself that.
Congratulations, on your anniversary–you’re way ahead of me!
you had almost as many windows open as Moe.
Congratulations.
Nice to see you back up and running . . .
