I got this from facebook so I have no idea who to credit. It may not be an original, from me, but I soooooo agree with this!
I used to think I “can’t” lose with or I “can’t” be as awesome as person ________. Can’t is such a stupid word! This is why we do not say it in our house…ever! We don’t allow it because the word “can’t” is not a true word. You CAN do anything you want…but WILL you do it?
If you say it, hear your kids say it, or here anyone else say it, call them on it!
Have a good one!
Moving your GFC followers from our blogspot domain to your new purchased word press domain is very easy!
All you have to do is log in to your Google Friend Connect page. If you have a google account, which you do if you are on blogger, then all you have to do is sign in. http://www.google.com/friendconnect/
Then you find your blog on the left sidebar. If you have more then one blog you will see them listed on the sidebar. Click on settings and a screen comes up with your blog URL. Simply make sure that your purchased domain name is in the URL so take the blogspot out.
Then go back into the overview tab of your friend connect account and there is a button on the top that says “add a members gadget.” Pick your colors and size of the GFC widget you want, get the code and copy the code. Continue reading
I LOVE Turbo Fire as I have said before and the other day I was doing a workout and i just had to share again, another reason, why Chalene Johnson is my absolute favorite trainer!
Chalene got me hooked first from her Turbo Jam DVDs 
I LOVED them and still do.
Then I got 
and now I am hooked again, as I have said a million times. But she does something different in Turbo Fire that has me even more hooked.
If you read this blog on a regular basis you know about my positive journey. I am weeding out negative influences in my life and trying to fill it with positive things. Something Chalene does in her new Turbo Fire is promote a whole lot of self-esteem and positivity and it really helps me keep motivated and keep going. Continue reading
Your hosting service should make this pretty easy for you and it should only take a minute or two to complete the process. I did however, find a way to screw it up. Not so bad, but I did.
They list the transfer service as free however it is going to cost you another $10. This is how it plays out.
You transfer it and the third step it asks for $10. Now this is a $10 fee for the domain but it just means that you get it for a second year. So it is your renewal early. Confusing…yes, but not so bad. I bought my domains back in April and so by bloggers terms I would have had to renew it in April of 2012. Now I merged in July so now instead of April 2012 my domains are up for renewal in April of 2013. That is what the $10 is for when you transfer. so it’s not really a fee, it’s really just an early renewal. Not sure why they do it, but I don’t have to worry about another $10 until 2013 so that is fine with me.
So, how did I screw this up. Continue reading
Today my PMS is so bad, that if I saw someone eating chocolate, I would probably run them down and still the chocolate right out of their hands. It is a good thing my kids do not have a candy stash in the house because I don’t know if I could control myself today.
Doesn’t this chocolate in the picture look AWESOME! I could eat chocolate every day, and at every meal! Seriously! I have to control myself not to buy it by the pound when I go to the store and especially during times of PMS. I am in love with chocolate. In fact if I had to choose to sleep with my husband or with chocolate…well, need you even ask…Chocolate!
Today is bad. I got 4 hours of sleep because of a diarrhea dog and child and I am PMS-ING (is that even a word?) big time! I am getting my chocolate fix for lunch and so not feeling guilty about it! Continue reading
So I bought the btrbb.com and three months later I was ready to transfer my domain over to host monster and with the word press plug-in. I, of course, wanted to create my blog first so I had somewhere to import my blogger posts.
Now if you understand about temporary domains, all the lingo was in my hosting company, then you can do it that way, with a temporary domain. This is how I did it because I am not computer savvy.
Domains are only $10 a year so the initial buy of the .com was not so bad. I decided that the best choice, for me, was to by my domain name in .net or .org or anything that was available. If I was not going to be able to find it with another dot? I was just going to buy any random domain because it only takes a minute to change it. Continue reading
I have been slacking on the positive thoughts. Probably why I have been struggling lately.
Today’s thought:
“If you want something different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself.” Author Unknown
Kind of goes along with my health tip I posted on my website yesterday about the definition of crazy. I am going to post that here too. I think I am a little crazy the past few weeks.
Here is my video:) Enjoy! Continue reading
It is 2am and how nice is it that MS Word Clipart actually has a clock picture that shows 2am?! Let me give you my run down for the last 2 hours. Yes I have been trying to go to bed for the last 2 hours!
The dog had diarrhea all over her pillow, so I had to change that. The baby (2 year old) also has had diarrhea all night so being a nice Mom, after I washed and cleaned up after the dog, I decided to check the baby. He was asleep but I was not going to let him sleep in poop all night. Continue reading
Domain name! First and foremost. If you have not purchased your domain from blogger yet then you should. Then you need to wait about 3 months before you can transfer the domain to your new hosting service. There are a couple reasons for this.
You need to get your blog off of blogspot so when you do switch your google rank and search engine searches to not plummet to ZERO. So this blog use to be btrbb.blogspot.com and I bout the domain btrbb.com. I then tweeted and shared my old posts over that 3 month period. I am not totally sure if that helped but I figured if I was inviting readers to my older posts on my new domain than maybe it would help the process go a bit faster. Continue reading
I was told by MANY that it would cost me lots of $$$$ to merge my blogger blog to paid word press. I had a fear, pretty early on, that my blog would become deleted due to the horror stories I heard from others who had their blogs deleted for no reasons.
I had my first blog from just about 2 years and my second blog for about 6 months less. I was actually quoted from one company $600-$700 to move both and another company was about half of that.
I was told that the number of posts made a difference. They both told me that it costs more for more posts because of the time it takes to move them etc. I also got many quotes from other companies that were a bit less but all in all the average price was well over $100 per blog to start and about $150 per blog in the end.
I was also told that I HAD to have a paid word press template, the free templates would not do. So that was another $70 per blog, it least. Continue reading
