Changes are 'a comin'!
I have worked so hard on this blog and it is honestly my pride and joy. I have never been so dedicated to a hobby before - and accomplished so much!
I couldn't have done half of this without my amazing blogging friends!
Chari - for always being there with an encouraging comment to make me smile and love blogging
Beth - for helping me grow my blog in the beginning from 2 to 3 collumns, and for inspiring me
Kristen - for inspiring me to do my own design work and being a great friend
Christine - for inspiring me to keep my focus on God and my family - I love your blog!
Cat - for helping me make the transition - I could move to Wordpress without you, but I'd go crazy doing it!
Kas - for making my header and button, you have such talent my friend!
Trisha - providing a wonderful place were I met all my great friends
All my momdot gals - you rock. You keep me going on this blog and helped me grow!
So yes, I am no longer going to be at blogger, but my domain will be the same. The look will change a tiny bit but I hope it won't be such a dramatic change for you. There are a lot of wonderful things I am adding to my blog - a better menu for easier navigating and better ad placement for my amazing sponsors. This look and feel might change one more time in the spring if I find something that suits me even better but we'll see.
For now it will always be a fun blog, Mama Dweeb!
Why the switch?
I have had a few people say they can't comment. It is like 1 out of 10 people that have trouble. I tried everything I could to figure out how to fix that and couldn't. I am planning a huge diaper giveaway event in February and I need every single person to be able to comment.
Also, in blogger people are not required to leave their email address in the comments, and no matter how many times or ways I ask them to people still don't leave their email address and then they entered for nothing if I can't get ahold of them. Wordpress has a field for email address in the comments.
Plus, the more I grow the more I realize WordPress has a ton more customizing options. It has better SEO capabilities which is better for my sponsors. Let's be honest - I adore blogging but if I can make some money with it what is more Proverbs 31 than that?
So I will be unveiling the new look in the new year!
Happy New Year everyone!!

I helped a blog friend with her Wordpress blog while she was out of the country. I moderated her comments for her. I have to say that I was impressed with Wordpress!
Congratulations on the changes. I wish you all the best with your blogging!!
You're so sweet! You've been a great encouragement to me! I love reading your posts. You are always so happy and have a positive attitude about everything.
I like a lot of features about wordpress. You'll have to let us know how it turns out for you. The only thing I don't like (and I'm not sure if this is on every blog since I don't enter a lot of giveaways) but it doesn't let you leave comments very fast back to back if you are entering a giveaway. maybe I'm just the only one with that issue.
I had to laugh at how I helped you figure out 3 columns in the beginning! Now you know WAY more about blog layouts and such then I do! Now I need your help. :-)
I look forward to your first event and wish you the best with wordpress.
