My regular readers know I have been toying with the idea of changing my blog for quite some time. I have written a few posts on my vague idea but was never quite ready to take the plunge. There is a lot that goes into starting a blog. There is a lot more to consider when changing your blog or starting a new one from scratch.
These are scary steps to take, especially for someone like me who has limited technical skills to speak of. There is also the fact that my blog and I have become great friends so it’s going to be hard to say goodbye to this blog and start a new one.
I really want to try to find a way to just change the name of this one but it’s looking more and more like I won’t be able to that. Rather, I will have to start fresh. This is bittersweet for me. I’ve been blogging for 3 1/2 years now. July will be 4 years. That’s a long time to develop a steady reader base, a steady online reputation with RockinRandomMom as my brand name, and my stats. We can’t forget about my blog stats.
I don’t let myself get bogged down by the stats but leaving them behind will be a sad thing to let go of.
However, it is finally time. As I said in my first post of the new year, this is my year to conquer fears. Fear of changing my blog or starting a new one is one of those fears I am going to conquer this year.
I spent the last several months brainstorming different blog names. I must have about 50 different names written down in my notebook. I finally have one. I will reveal my new site after I have officially set it up (just in case at the last minute I change it or the name I want is taken). So stay tuned for that.
I will write one final post in this one to let everyone know what my blog will be called and where to find me. No worries ladies and gents. You will be kept in the loop.
I’m writing this post though because I feel the need to tell my readers that I will be taking a short break from this blog. I still have to design my new adventure. I have to get through all of the technical stuff and brand myself with a new name.
I have to set up all of my social media and move several posts from this blog to my new one. Yes, I will be moving several posts over there. It will still be me, just with a new name.
I also plan to finally set up a newsletter with my new site. I am finally going to make the blog I want with the content that I want and attempt to brand myself better. This is my goal this year.
So everyone, I will be gone for a few weeks while I figure everything out and set up my new blog. I do hope that you wait for me and join me on this new journey as I venture out into a new adventure!
Thank you so much for reading!
