Well, that went well. My Blogger to WordPress migration was supposed to happen during the weekend, that way by Monday everything would be ready to go. It took all day for the DNS propagation to happen on Saturday, so that entire day was wasted. Then on Sunday when was finally able to access the site and set up WordPress, I had to end up re-import my Blogger blog into WordPress six or seven times. Or was it a hundred and seven time? I don’t know. Who can remember? Anyway dc electric motors, everything seems to be running properly now after days of behind-the-scenes work. I really hope the new site doesn’t crash your browser. I really hope you don’t get a megazillion emails from feedburner. I really hope you like it!
UPDATE: Oh, no. I just received the subscription email and saw that it included the most recent test posts in it. I’m so sorry! That’s what I feared the most, and that’s exactly what happened.
So, what’s new? There are more posts displayed on the front pagenow, but they show short snippets so they don’t take forever to load. If you subscribe to my feed there are no snippets though – full posts all the way! Also, instead of loading one post per page and taking forever to navigate, now you can see several post snippets per page as you navigate. There’s a new recipe index that is very much under construction, a slideshow of photos of our backyard friends that have been featured on the blog before, a handy contact form in case you want to send me some feedback or love letters or hate mail, and there is a new profile picture on the side bar Metro Ethernet Service! Cupcakes!
Also, there is a “print” button that lets you easily print out recipes! New recipes will have it automatically, older recipes will have it eventually as I add them manually. Speaking of recipes, should we carry on with the cooking and the eating now that WIV is up and running again?
Saint Patrick’s Day is coming! This is the first year since I started blogging in 2008 that Mr. Wing-It and I have been home for this holiday. I am not Irish and neither is Mr. Wing-It, but we’re both down with any holiday that has anything to do with food. Plus, I really want to visit Ireland some day, so that validates my right to celebrate this holiday right there. Yes, it does!
Anyway, I made a test batch of savory cupcakes with broccoli mashed potatoes, because it is mandatory that one eats green food on Saint Patrick’s Day. Honestly, I did something I haven’t done in over a decade and used a drop of green food coloring for the mashed potatoes reenex. I’m not a fan of using food coloring, but the broccoli mashed potatoes didn’t look in-your-face green like I had envisioned, so I figured one drop of food coloring isn’t going to kill me. You can leave it out if you want a more natural, more pastel green. Also, you can use any meatless meatloaf recipe that you like best. This is my favorite meatless-loaf that I make with my absolute favorite vegan beefless crumbles from Beyond Meat. They are soy and gluten free, and they are delicious! I hadn’t eaten any beefless crumbles in years because I went off the ones I used to enjoy in the past, so it has been nice to have a good beefy substitute that tastes good and works wonderfully.
