Post image for A Soft Place to Land Has Moved!

You found me!!! Welcome to my new blog home, my dear friends!

In my never-ending quest to make life more complicated, A Soft Place to Land will now be found at:

http://asoftplace.net/


I am slowly getting settled in, but there are still lots of boxes to unpack and dust to settle. Moving is certainly messy but more than anything I was so worried that my friends wouldn’t find me.

I would be ever so grateful if you would update your blogrolls and links to http://asoftplace.net/. Very thoughtful of me to create more work for you like that, wouldn’t you say?

If you read ASPTL in a feed reader, you’ll need to resubscribe. Just click on my cute little “Subscribe” button on the right to get signed up for my new feed. Pretty please?

If you keep up with blogs in your Blogger Dashboard, then just click “Join This Site” on my Google Friend Connect thingy. It’s just like “Follow” on Blogger, then you’ll receive all my updates in your Blogger Dashboard like always. As I’m publishing this, I have exactly 3 friends. And two of them are me! So sad.

A Soft Place to Land might look a wee bit different, but it’s still the same old Kimba. My dear friend, Darcy from Graphically Designing, held my hand and walked me through the process of moving my site to WordPress. She is, without a doubt, the Blog Whisperer. Without her help, I would have had a nervous breakdown.

And if you’re wondering, DIY Day will still start tonight at 10pm (eastern time) right here at www.asoftplace.net. You can grab the DIY Day button with the new link in my right-hand sidebar. See you tonight!

2 The Nester November 9, 2009 at 5:48 am

I love your new place! Going to resubscribe via RSS now! Well done!

3 Elizabeth November 9, 2009 at 5:53 am

I can’t subscribe using Google Reader… it says “the requested feed cannot be found.”

FYI!!! Bummer!! You’re still on my favorites list, though…. but just wanted to let you know in case other people have the same problem.

Kimba,

So neat and tidy. You will love WP.

You’ll be up and rolling, full-speed, before you know it!

Good job! xx

5 Diana @ The Girl Creative November 9, 2009 at 5:54 am

Love the new website. :) It looks great!! I’m going to go update your site on my blogroll and blog list. :)

6 Happy Hectic Homemaker November 9, 2009 at 6:10 am

I too am having problems subscribing via google reader.

7 heidi @ wonder woman wannabe November 9, 2009 at 6:12 am

Love your new pad!

8 Happy Hectic Homemaker November 9, 2009 at 6:14 am

ok found a solution myself, Elizabeth and anyone else trying to past and copy the ASPTL address into Google Reader. Instead of pasting the address into Google Reader, click on the subscribe button on the right. Once there click on the Google button. Then select, “Add to Google Reader.” Hope that helps.

9 sandy November 9, 2009 at 6:16 am

I just posted on my blog about your new place. Love ya!

10 Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality November 9, 2009 at 6:22 am

Congrats, Kimba! It all looks great. Hope it all goes smooth for you. I had a few glitches, but glad I moved too.

11 emily November 9, 2009 at 6:26 am

On my way to re-subscribe right now! Yippee! Love the little icons that pop up in your top navigation. So adorable! Welcome to your new home! (shows up on doorstep with happy green plant)

12 Layla November 9, 2009 at 6:30 am

Yay for ASPTL! It’s SO PRETTY! Way to make the “big transition” friend. (I’m so nervous to!) <:-O
SO proud of you. You're an inspiration!

13 Chris November 9, 2009 at 6:31 am

49 and counting! Love the “new place”! It looks very polished–even though there are boxes and bubble wrap all over! ;)

14 Amy @ Living Locurto November 9, 2009 at 7:07 am

Welcome to Wordpress!! You’ll love it:-)

15 TidyMom November 9, 2009 at 7:50 am

18 Tracy November 9, 2009 at 8:07 am

Love the new site! I am following and resubscribed.

19 Trish@TheOldPostRoad November 9, 2009 at 8:42 am

Updating my sidebar for you! Didn’t want to start on those dishes, anyway.

20 Debbie November 9, 2009 at 8:43 am

Kimba, I found you and resubscribed through Google connect. I’m so glad that you didn’t change your overall look as I love the soothing green. I always feel so peaceful when I visit you.

But I do love the new site! Maybe one day I’ll move to Word Press but for now, I’m still a novice on Blogger. I’m glad you had help though from your blog whisperer.

Hugs to you,
Debbie

21 cristin @ simplified bee November 9, 2009 at 8:55 am

Kimba,
The new site looks great!!!

Do I need to update you on my blogroll too?

xo,
cristin

22 tanya November 9, 2009 at 8:58 am

what a great place! i have everything switched over to your new site.

23 Hillary @ The Other Mama November 9, 2009 at 9:00 am

Congrats on the move! I have GOT to get over to WP and keep telling myself I will do it soon. My goal is to have it done before Blissdom so all the other blogs won’t laugh at me. :-)
Blog Whisperer Darcy should be her blog design name. Love it!

24 Gina @ The Shabby Chic Cottage November 9, 2009 at 9:13 am

YAY! You’re all moved in — should I send a ‘blog-warming’ gift?

25 Melissa Stover November 9, 2009 at 9:16 am

26 Rachel Anne November 9, 2009 at 9:18 am

Alright lady, I’m updating and I tweeted everyone to subscribe to your new digs! :) (I also leaked that your a Relevant speaker…hehe…)

29 melissa @ the inspired room November 9, 2009 at 9:29 am

You did it! I brought you a little housewarming treat but since I couldn’t get it in the screen I am going to eat it myself while I browse around.

It looks lovely, here and I am sure you will be very happy! Off to resubscribe.

30 Richella November 9, 2009 at 10:52 am

You’re darn right about Darcy! She is the best, isn’t she?

Kimba, your new site looks beautiful. I hope it enables you to do everything you want to do. And as far as I’m concerned, I couldn’t care less if I have to update my blogroll and bookmarks and all that stuff. I’d hunt you down wherever you were. Can’t make it without my Kimba fix.

Hope you’re having a great November!

31 darcy (aka the Blog Whisperer) November 9, 2009 at 11:50 am

I’m as anxious as a momma on the first day of kindergarten. Lookin’ good over here, though, if I do say so myself.

I can say that, right?

So happy to see all those pretty faces on the sidebar already!

The feed is misbehavin’ a little bit. The settings were changed, but Google still thinks your feed is off. It works best to go through the feed button for now, as folks mentioned above.

I’m investigating the rogue feed.

32 Amanda @ Serenity Now November 9, 2009 at 12:09 pm

Hi there! It looks like the same great site, with a few minor changes. :) I like it! Is WP that much different? Is that why all my favies are moving from blogger? I have a teeny tiny blog, so blogger is good for now for me….just curious as to why all the moves….:)

33 Marla @ Always Nesting November 9, 2009 at 1:10 pm

I’m in, I think!

34 Kimm at REINVENTED November 9, 2009 at 1:21 pm

Love the “new” site, Kimba! It looks fabulous, but I’ll admit I hope YOU don’t change! :)
Can’t wait for the party, I actually have 2 posts to link up!

35 pk November 9, 2009 at 1:41 pm

Love your new digs! Have a good day…

36 Lorie November 9, 2009 at 6:17 pm

Love the new place!!

37 Mary Beth November 9, 2009 at 6:34 pm

I love your new home-spacious and beautiful! ; )

38 Mama Kat November 9, 2009 at 8:31 pm

You took the plunge Kimba!!! I’m so close…why did you do it? Why the switch, I need to know. I might as well do it with you right? I’m just nervous…and I don’t know how necessary it is. Which is why we need to talk.

It looks amazing here though!! Seriously!

I’m all re subscribed!!

39 Roeshel November 9, 2009 at 9:09 pm

Hurray for new places! Congrats!

40 Mary Jean Taylor November 9, 2009 at 9:10 pm

Yeah! Love it! I’m loving Wordpress myself and yes, Darcy is the total Blog Whisperer!!!

41 Kristen ~ Pajama Mama November 9, 2009 at 9:31 pm

Kimba! Welcome home-it’s beautiful!

Off to change my blogroll to your new addy!

42 jenjen November 9, 2009 at 9:43 pm

44 Kate at Centsational Girl November 9, 2009 at 10:04 pm

Helllloooooo darlin ! Welcome to WordPress. True, a bit intimidating at first. I’m still learning the ropes. Still like some things about Blogger better, but pretty pleased with WordPress so far. So nice to have you join the club, and I’ll be updating those links right now !

xoxo
Kate

45 Randy November 10, 2009 at 11:58 am

Came here from (In)Courage. Love your site and hope to become much more familiar with it. I love DIY projects. Just finished making my very first 36″ grapevine wreath from our vines. Please enter me in your contest today and thanks for all your hard work!

46 Anna November 10, 2009 at 10:37 pm

So glad to have found you! Looking forward to a nice long browse…
