It has been a year (or thereabouts) since I moved A Small Press Life from Blogger to WordPress. It was a snap decision, but I haven’t regretted it for one second. Even though I have expressed this opinion a few times in the past, it is worth bringing forth once again: the WordPress community is awesome. A blog isn’t a blog without an interactive group of readers. With your keen commenting skills, you make every post an interesting, organic and unique experience.
2012 has been an incredible year. We have seen our stats steadily climb, and then soar. A Small Press Life was featured in both The Daily Post and Freshly Pressed. Then, again, there’s all of you. Heading into 2013, you can be sure of two things: that we are truly grateful and feverishly excited to make the blog even better (more on that soon).
“I stay cool, and dig all jive,
That’s the way I stay alive.
My motto,
as I live and learn,
is
Dig and be dug
In return.”-Langston Hughes

I understand you having no regrets. Good on moving the blog. I would have never found it otherwise and it is such a gem!

Thank you! It was definitely the best choice I could have made. I am glad you found the blog, or that I found yours. However that worked; I’ve forgotten.

I couldn’t have said it better – a blog is unmaintainable without the interest and interaction of readers and friends. I am glad to have been a (virtual) friend of yours in 2012 and hope to be seeing you around just as much in 2013 – all the best to you, Alicia, a strong and healthy start into the New Year!

I am glad that we have come to know each other, at least a little bit, courtesy of the wonderful blogging world of WordPress. Your posts always make me happy. They are part-travelogue and part-fashion show, and help make the Internet a bit brighter. I hope that 2013 gives you everything you want and need.

I moved from Blogger to WP only three months ago. I’ve discovered and now follow a wonderfully ecclectic group of blogs including of course yours, which being bookish is one of my favourites. Bonne continuation, as the French say, for 2013.

Blogger seems so behind the times compared to WordPress. I haven’t regretted the move at all. Have a wonderful, happy, healthy 2013!
