Update on new site:
Those of you who have visited the new and improved Chubby
Chatterbox now realize it hasn’t been improved much. I expected a few glitches
along the way, and sure enough there are. My web designer is addressing the
issue of leaving comments that aren’t microscopic, but the biggest problem is
with Google. The Google Friend Connect (where folks join to become members) is
no longer transferable. Without telling anyone, Google cancelled the ability to
move this feature to another site. It seems you’re all being held captive. This
leaves my designer scrambling for a way to transfer my members without losing
them. I’m told this could take seven to fourteen days. Until this is done, none
of my members will receive posts from me on the new site.
Soooooo…what to do? I could keep quiet for a week or two
(yeah—like that’s an option!) or I
could move home until the issues with the new site are resolved. An easy
decision—I’m moving back home. I feel like a runaway who only got a few
blocks before hightailing it home, or a college student returning to Mom and Dad with
a sack of dirty laundry and a report card covered in “F”s.
On the bright side, on Thursday I’m hosting fellow blogger
PT Dilloway. PT is launching his exciting new novel A Hero’s Journey. Now I can be sure of doing a proper job without the
uncertainties the new site might have caused. I’ll be sure to let you all know
where to find me the next time I run away. Sorry about the confusion.

Well I found this but I don't know whether it's the new or the old site! Don't worry. It will all work out.
ReplyDeleteJust hack the html on blogspot and use it. What's wrong with blogger? You can do all of that stuff that you want to do on your website. If you want flash sliders import jquery language into the html. I did some of that last night on a test blog. Plus...it's free. You don't have to pay anyone.
ReplyDeleteAny changes dealing with websites always have some glitches. Either way, I will figure out where you are..new or old...your followers will follow.
ReplyDeleteD'oh and I already changed the links for your new blog. Oh well, should be easy enough to change them back.
ReplyDeleteI'd say do whatever Michael said but I have no idea what any of that means.
It's okay, i would figure out how to read your site anyway, it's too good to lose.
ReplyDeleteOh, and as an experiment why not copy to both until you have the bugs worked out of the new one? There's no such thing as too much Chatterbox.
I'm hopeless with the technical stuff, but I hope your transition to the new site goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteA bump in the road is okay.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's not Grandma.
No matter where you go, here we are. I would also say to do what Michael says, but it sounds like would would need a questionable dude from Russia to hack html and import jquery language.
ReplyDeleteWell I was late for the grand opening, so I didn't miss you here at all. Good luck on working out the posting woes.
ReplyDeleteWait, what? I don't know what's going on. The Chatterbox changed location, but now it's back but will still be moving? What is this madness? Up is East! Cats chase yellow! My world has been turned the right way topwise!
ReplyDeleteI'll be happy to follow you over and resubscribe at the new site if needed. Good luck with all of it.
ReplyDeleteSo that's why I couldn't subscribe to your new site. Makes sense now. Google isn't playing nicely. You guru will figure it out I'm sure. I'll stand by until then.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. :)
Just let me know if I need to join up over there once you get it all going, not a prob Stephen.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Stephen!
