Time for a change, ain't it pretty?

I have decided to downsize and spruce up my website. I have used Wordpress on my paid webhost for many years now, but I feel it is now time for a change. I want to try switching to a different blogging platform for making posts and pages for a while and see how it goes. 

This one is called "Blogger" and is owned by Google I believe. So far, I kind of like it. It offers pages, and I can embed the codes to show my Facebook page like I have on my Wordpress site. The only downside so far, is function for placing images. Wordpress has a built in gallery system which lines up your photos nicely. Blogger does not. If I need to have photos sitting side by side, I will have to just code it myself which is something I am capable of, but I find it inconvenient lol.

I did like Wordpress, but once my website hosting comes up for renewal in October of 2028 I may not want to continue with paid webhosting that I have to manage myself... I would rather be sewing lol.  

I have my judyshandicrafts.ca domain pointing to the new Blogger location's homepage. Once you arrive, you will note that the address is judyshandicrafts.blogspot.com rather than judyshandicrafts.ca. The .ca address will get you there; perhaps add the blogspot.com address to your bookmarks if you desire. 

 I am finding it easy to transfer over older posts and I've made some changes simplifing posts and what is where. I have my little store on Square Online, which will stay. I use it for my digital downloads area, but I am thinking that I may add a few physical small items for when I am off season at the markets. This way some things can still be available without customers having to go out to the market. I live in the "sticks" but my husband goes to GP often so I am sure a meet up could easily be arranged for collecting a purchase. 

Anyway, I hope you like the new place. I do, so far.
