This is Jen from Grace Community Church. I'm using Blogspot for a family blog but I launched my professional blog on Wordpress (http://drjenthomas.wordpress.com/). Also, congratulations on your upcoming gig at Proverbs 31! I've attended their conference twice (but didn't make it last year) and always got a lot out of it! When my co-authored book, The Five Languages of Apology was about to be released, I stepped up my speaker training quite a bit! Now, I speak to church and corporate groups several times a year. Contact me if you ever want to swap pointers about speaking and writing! Very relevant topic!

Wordpress works well for my preschool's parent blog, because I need those pages. For some reason, I didn't like using Wordpress for my personal blog. Guess I loved my sidebars a bit too much! I got frustrated that I couldn't manage the widgets as easily. So, both have their good points and I think it just depends on the person. I love your new blog!

I am debating switching AND whether to use my name as the website since I write for the paper and other online sites now. I can't decide if I want to brand my name and bring all my writing under my name on the web or not. Decisions, decisions. I love the unique look of the ink drawing around your entries. So cool!

Like you, I agree that Blogger has a lot of great features to offer - even more is offered now then when I left. I also just felt the need to expand beyond what Blogger could offer. The multiple pages thing is big as well as required email for comments - it drove me CRAZY to not be able to reply to some comments through email because the commenter hadn't "checked the box." I have NO html/coding know-how and I do not have a Kate. Typepad offers lots of neat features and does all the techy stuff for you. I considered going self-hosted through WP, but quickly realized I would have been in WAY over my head. The support service Typepad offers is phenomenal. I'm really NOT on Typepad's payroll, I've just been very happy there and wanted to throw that out there, too! I just want to say again that you and Kate did an AMAZING job with this new design. It is so unique and fresh and wonderful. I left Blogger over a year ago, but I went with Typepad.

I suppose it's just because Blogger is what everyone else I knew was using. Thanks for the thoughts about why you changed. It's given me things to consider.

I was happy to "find you" once again! First of all, I wanted to check and see how your little one was feeling? I hope he is on the mend and that the rest of the family is staying healthy! I too wondered about your switch, it sounds like there is a lot of flexibility in this new site, although I do miss your pretty page and the embellishments. I'll keep reading no matter how you post! :-) Take care and I wish you and your family a blessed Valentine's Day! With love from Colorado, Denise :-) Hi Emily!

Look at those links on the bottom. Additional resources! You rock, Kate or no Kate (although clearly having a Kate makes things pretty and makes things work).
