Yay! You Made It!

Hey, Diva!

If you’re reading this right now, it means that you have either been redirected or luckily stumbled upon The Fierce Diva Guide To Life at my new web address, http://ileneevans.com

With help from the fabulous Julie DeNeen from http://www.fabulousblogging.com, I made the switch to self-hosted blogging, and if I manage to not break my site, I think I’m really going to like it here!

I am thrilled that you made it!  I still have a few boxes to unpack and some formatting work to do to pretty up this place, but please make yourself at home.

Your RSS feed or email subscription should have transferred without a hitch.  If you don’t already email subscribe, please consider doing do.  It’s the best way to ensure that you never miss a post.

First a blog move, next a real life move!  Both accompanied with a little bit of the unknown, and both exciting.

I’m so glad that wherever I go, I get to take all of you with me.

    • Thanks, Jen! I’m glad I did it! With a little fixing up it will feel like home!

  3. Yahooooooo! I love the new look and so glad you made the jump. 🙂 No matter where you are or what your address is, I will always be reading. xo

  4. I love the new digs! They log mahvelous, dahling, and we can’t wait to have you in the South. (Even though Montgomery, AL is not really very close to Anywhere, NC.)

    • I just like the idea in itself that I will be a little closer to you than I am now! Wow! Lots of moving for me these days!

    • Thanks, KC! BTW, I made the flourless muffins you had posted on your blog last week – they were great! I wouldn’t mind one or two of them right now!

    • Thanks, Michelle, I came our of BBC rearing to go apparently, and decided to get the “big change” out of the way first!

  8. Awesome! Love it. It’s a goal of mine to move from blogger. I always worry I come across as unprofessional without my own space. And about moving four states in real life, I hope it’s four states north! Just know that wherever it is, you can still stream WDHA on the internet. Always.

    • Your photos are so gorgeous and your writing so good that there is nothing unprofessional about your blogger blog!

      It’s actually 4 states south! I am moving to one of the islands on the North Carolina coast min-August. I am in the middle of selling my house and everything in it and heading down there with my kids, our clothes, and my laptop. Something tells me that a lot of blog posts will come out of this! And yes, I am so glad I can stream WDHA anywhere! <3

  11. Thanks, friend! I am so excited! And there are so many more options here than what I had before! It’s so nice to own versus rent!

    • I don’t even know how you had time to get over here between chasing bunnies and feeding chickens and getting to a dozen barbecues this weekend, but I’m glad you did. I will take your good wishes ANY TIME! And I know…this is what happens when we don’t talk for 2 days 🙂 Love you girl!

  13. Congratulations on the move, and yes, I came here via my Feedly feed and there you were, all brand spanking new! Excited for you!

    • Thanks Alison! I said I’d give this blogging thing a year and then go from renting to owning! I guess I plan to stay a while! Glad you are here with me!

  14. Congrats on this move and good luck on the next one!! Loving this new space. Lots of change for you these days but I know it will be wonderful, happy change and I’m so excited to follow as you go through it all!!

    • Thank you my friend! Lots of changes but all good. I am so glad you got to check out the new digs!

    • You girls are so sweet. With a welcome like that, it’s beginning to feel like home already. xo

    • Thank you Kim! I love the way it looks too and I can not take ANY credit for that at all! 🙂

    • I haven’t hit the redirect button! Julie is doing that TODAY! I am almost throwing up thinking about it because I have been warned that it *may* break the link to all of my photos. Apparently, Typepad does not play well with others….

    • I am so happy you made it! I would never want to leave anyone behind, especially you! xo

    • I love both of you too and I can’t tell you how much your enthusiams for all of my moves means to me. And I am so glad that you both came to visit me on my new site today! Yay! Pie for everyone!! xo

    • Thanks, Alisa! So far, it’s been a great ride! I hope it continues for as long as it can! xo

    • Thanks for coming over Joi and thank for the tip about Bloglovin. I have so much to get in order – but I just added that one to my list!

  22. Oh Yay to self-hosting! It’s a little expensive, but so worth it! Off to add you on bloglovin and update my blog roll! XX

    p.s. Got your email about specializing the press kit. I was thinking that’s exactly what I needed to do! Great minds!

    • Thanks Martha! I really like it and I think the more I learn, the more I will appreciate making the switch! I am so glad about the press kit. It was one of the best tips I heard out of BBC!

    • I’m really happy I moved too. I feel like a kid in a candy store. Now that I am self hosted, there are just so many options to choose from!

    • The big girl pants still feel a little uncomfortable. If I’d lay off the corn chips maybe they’d fit a little better? But back to the blog…yes! Exciting! Thank you for coming by for the welcome! xo

  27. Loving the new digs lady!! Happy for your move on the Internet and in the real life world!! Sorry I’m late to the party – so many blogs, work, and kids and no time!! ((HUGS))
