BiblioAddict


A Short Recess…

On taking a bit of learning and reading break:

A few days ago I got the bright idea that it was finally time I owned my own domain name. I’d been putting it off for about a year now, but now the time was ripe. Except…

I somehow managed to overlook the fact that I hadn’t the SLIGHTEST idea of what having my own domain entailed beyond having my the site address at “www.biblioaddict.com” as opposed to “baddict.wordpress.com”. It never occurred to me before, but there really is good reason why people get paid good money to do this. In short, I need time, folks, to figure what the hell it is I’m doing.

In addition to that, I’ve got a number of good books going at the moment. To name a small few: The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins, The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, and Emma by Jane Austen.  Between all this great reading and trying to climb the steep learning curve of domain ownership, blogging time is definitely get cut into.

So, instead of leaving BiblioAddict abandoned for lack of posts, I wanted to let you all know that it’s all for the greater good!  Spring is just around the corner, you know?  Whenever the suns starts shining and the tempeture rises, I always get the urge to start reorganizing my apartment and moving stuff around.  Apparently, that includes my blog.

So, I’ll be back!  Bigger and better hopefully. :)   In the meantime, happy reading everyone.  See you soon!

That is exciting! I am sure you will figure out everything soon. It is amazing how much you don’t think about, isn’t it? Good luck with it all!

I found it pretty easy to maintain your own domain. Hosting might be the issue–it’s like car shopping, really. I use TypePad. If you went to brandonvon.typepad.com, you’d find my blog. I simply redirect the typepad.com URL to http://www.brandonvon.com. It’s simpler than you’d think.

I know you can host through WordPress, too. When I initially started with my domain, I tried doing it through BlogSpot, but it was more grief than it was worth.

Good luck transferring to the new domain! I completely understand your confusion here – I’m just lucky I have someone who knew all the ins and outs and could do it for me!

Also, it does sound like you’ve got a lot of good reading on your plate at the moment! We can hardly blame you for not blogging when you’re ensconced in so many good books.

How is the transfer going? It’s pretty exciting! I’m far too lazy these days to maintain my own domain. Great books too! I love Wilkie Collins.
