A New Home

Ok, everyone, hold onto your hats, 'cause I got some important news that will impact YOU, my Internet peep friends, but news that I'm really excited to announce!  You all know that blogging is obviously a priority to me with how much time and thought I put into it; it's become one of my most favorite things!  Because of this, I really want to try and grow the blog into something more widely read.  I also would like to have more control over the design and layout, and keep my readers from experiencing the frustration of their comments being cut off for no reason.  So after much thought and consideration, I am moving the blog to a new location and it will have a new name!  It will also just be my blog, not mine and Matt's...hope that's not too much of a disappointment.  He will still make appearances, likely in the same frequency he did at Ink Pots <grin>, but this will be my "baby".

I agonized over the decision to part from the name Ink Pots because it holds great sentimental value to me, and it's been such a part of my life the past year.  But one of the things that was important to me in taking this next step was to have my own domain name, and Ink Pots was just not an available option.  So Matt and I brainstormed together and came up with a name that reflects a bit more of my personality and that is unique as well.  So with much enthusiasm, I announce the creation of Spicy Magnolia at http://www.spicymagnolia.com!

In my first post at Spicy Magnolia, I introduce readers to some of the enhancements to the blog that I think they will appreciate.  So I hope you continue to follow me in this journey as I move "homes".  I am most excited about this change.  Thank you, Internet peep friends, for making Ink Pots such a delightful community this past year.  I hope to continue to be a part of your life as you come visit me at Spicy Magnolia and help me welcome new readers as well!  So go on...check it out!  I hope to see you over there!

p.s.  If you subscribe to Ink Pots in a reader, you'll want to cancel your subscription and start a new one for Spicy Magnolia.  There is a "subscribe in a reader" button available to make this easy for you.

p.p.s.  For those of you who have blogs and have included Ink Pots in your blogroll, THANK YOU!  Please take a moment to update your blogroll so that it links to Spicy Magnolia as I will no longer post at Ink Pots.
