I spent most of yesterday tinkering around with WordPress. I managed to import my entries from Typepad. I have been keeping this blog since 2003 and did not realize just how many entries that would be. So I also spent a good deal of time categorizing the uncategorized (which is not necessary, just something I would like to have), only 1545 more to go!
When Mr. Boar got home he helped to re-map my domain name. Actually he did the re-mapping while I looked helpfully over his shoulder giving him good tips which I know he appreciated. He likes it when I do that while he’s driving too. Seriously though, even though I type in purlingswine.com, the wordpress part still shows up so I think maybe some more re-mapping is on the horizon. But the important thing is that it gets you here.
Today I am off to a dentist appointment and then work at Granny’s. A reminder for all you Long Island knitters and fiber lovers — this is the last week for Granny’s sale, get ’em while they’re hot!
Sadly, or no?, today marks the last of the official Year of the Pig pictures. I know and many of you know that I have loads more pigs. But those things are either in the back of cupboards or packed away in boxes. I am sure more pig pictures will pop up on this site from time to time. We are leaving off with my pig Martin who sits out front by our driveway lantern. He is a full sized porcine replica and I am sure the neighbors love it! (actually I had a garage sale a few years ago where lots of people said how much they like him).

I think this new blog will be good for you. Although I miss my other piggy.
oh darling…any time you are ready to show me or explain to me how to do that export/import thing. add it to the crochet list. :)
Awwww… poop! I have enjoyed checking out the pig photos. I think my favorite is still Blue Pig.
How are you liking WordPress?
You left Typepad in the dust! Enjoy your new home and let us know how it goes.
Looks good!
I absolutely am in love with your pig! What a great lawn decoration! Now if only they had a full sized wildebeast! :)
You just need to wait for all the DNSs (domain name servers) to update… should take about a day. Then the remapping should work for everyone.
Oh… um… your old photos are showing up as blue question marks. Did you move them over to the correct subdirectory?
Nice looking pig and new blog, congratulations :)
Love the new site!! …and that is “some pig”.
Love the new look!
