LOL<br />I had a website and own yolandarenee.com but have all hits sent to my blog now. One day maybe, when I can afford to have someone run it!

All I can suggest is to give people plenty of time to get used to a new location.

My blog does feed over to my website, but it's on a separate page. I wonder if I should move the blog to the home page or transfer this blog to the website completely. My main concern would be if my regular readers would follow me to that site.Sandra Ulbrich Almazanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365908651235829765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-22168022303898526412016-03-28T07:54:31.786-05:002016-03-28T07:54:31.786-05:00There are only two times I visit an author's w...There are only two times I visit an author's web site:<br />1. If it's a new author and I want to know more about her.<br />2. If their blogs are on their web sites.<br /><br />If it's a web site without a blog what reason would people have to visit regularly?

(groan) Thanks, Alex! I suppose it would be easier if I migrated over to Wordpress and combined my blog and website.
