Yes Darlings. BrocanteHome is moving house again.

This will be my last post here on Blogger as I have, with heart in mouth experienced the steep learning curve that is hosting my own site at Wordpress.Org, and after a month of the hardest work I can remember since I had to pull my guts out to pass my maths GCSE, the site is almost ready to receive visitors...

I say almost, because I fully intended to invite you over on Monday morning, but today Rachel Johnson, sister of Boris and editor of The Lady tweeted about a post I have written over at the new site about her magazine and before I knew it, just like that, my little old secret was out and I noticed a whole lot of unexplained visitors hopping all over the pages of the all new Brocante...

And so here we are, a few days earlier than I had anticipated with, many of the i's not quite dotted as scrumpiously as I had hoped and an entire section still not yet live (wait and see!), but heavens if I carry on faffing with my fiddly need for perfection I'll still be faffing when they put me ten feet under...

So here is what is going to happen: BrocanteHome here on Blogger will be live until Monday, then fingers crossed it will start to re-direct all traffic all by itself and you will be dragged by your pretty little knitted slippers over to the new site: the only thing you need to do is change bookmark and blog links to the new address if you would, while all feeds will be automatically re-directed and there shouldn't be any need to re-subscribe if you view Brocante in a reader...

I have decided upon this change for a number of reasons: a while ago I asked you what you thought of the current design and many of you suggested that you had preferred Brocante in it's previous happier, dotty incarnation (Hint!). While many readers also suggested that Brocante was both difficult to read and worse than that, almost impossible to navigate and even my own Mum declared problems searching for old posts and reading the text without glasses and a 200 watt light. So I listened and I dwelled and I ruminated on the idea of tackling something quite new to me (and previously rather terrifying) and before I knew it I was sitting with one of the Playground Daddies being taught the in's and out's of Wordpress, and keeping myself up till silly o'clock at night investigating the joys and endless possibilities of the rather wonderful little delight that is the Wordpress Plug-In.

A couple of months later and though I am almost bald with worry about such a big change, most of the Blogger posts have been imported and organized and we are ready to roll...
