I got my copy of Alaine’s latest CD, Sacrifice.

Change is oh so hard!

Well peeps, I did it. I made the big switch to Wordpress and what an endeavor it’s been! Transferring my files was oh so easy but as far as the hosting, templates, and FTP stuff….a total nightmare. I’m sure in a few months I’ll be a pro but for now I feel like I’m going [...]
