I have been a bad blogger these last few days. I’m hardly posting here, I’m hardly replying to any comments, or even acknowledging comments to new visitors to my site (who I love!!! Welcome!!!) I’ve been reading all my favorite blogs on my google reader, but not taking the time to comment. And little updates here and there have been ignored. I mean, Scooby has been two for several weeks now and Lil’ Dude is not only 10 months old now, but his nickname has been changed to “Fuzzles.” But have I updated that information? No. And when was the last time I updated my bloglights? It’s been weeks!

How do you people put up with me?

By way of explanation, I have a confession.

Brillig has a secret.

Acknowledgement of this secret on my part will require a little bit of work on your part. Still wanna know?

Today is my three month bloggiversary, and to celebrate, I’m going to dump it.

I feel quite savvy with Blogger. Everything you see here, I did myself. My banner, my color scheme, my buttons and slide shows and widgets. I can hardly bear to dump all of this and go on to the unknown world of my own site, and yet I feel that it is time, once and for all.

Many of you know that I’ve been contemplating the dump for some time now. And, in all honesty, I’d bought myself a domain quite a while back that I’ve just been sitting on. Okay–not just sitting on. I’ve been tinkering away at it like mad. I wasn’t, and am still not, quite geek enough to just buy a domain and have it up and running the next day!

Today, it is finally “up and running” as it were. Don’t get me wrong. It isn’t aesthetically pleasing nor is it very high tech. Yet. I’m really just getting my feet wet. But if you’re willing to put up with my tinkering and template changes and page additions, then I’m ready for you to make the great leap with me.

So, here it is in all its glory:

Now, won’t you change your bookmarks and your link lists for me? PLEASE? Even though I’ve been a very bad blogger for the last little while? (And yes, I will be obsessively checking my technorati to see who’s playing. hahahaha.)

And now, by way of disclaimer, I must throw in a word about WordPress. I think WordPress and I are going to get along swimmingly. But as many of you know, if you host your own site and put WordPress on it, your easy options are extremely limited, as opposed to sites that have wordpress.com in the URL. So please be patient with me while I try to get my site looking cool without all the magic that comes included in the wordpress.com sites! Keep in mind that I’m doing this all by myself… and I’m not very smart!

As for the title of this post, these are the very words that I uttered last night while Hubby was giving me some geek-pointers and a lamp suddenly fell over and hit me in the head. I was in a bit of shock, after feeling quite frazzled anyway, and the utterance was intended to be profound. Hubby, being the kind, supportive, understanding man that he is, busted up laughing at me. So I give it to you now, so you know a bit about what this blog-switch is doing to my brain.

Hey. What are you doing here still? Go! Hie thee forth to my new blog!

(Please?)
