Hi friends. I just created my WordPress blog yesterday and had planned to only repost 4 articles from my blog worth saving because I thought for sure any minute, I’d lose five years of stuff (317 articles) once my domain name transferred over from Wix to WordPress.

Out of everything I’ve written on my website when it was over at Wix, the animation reviews were what kept that site going, and kept readers coming back. I also spent a lot of time on writing those reviews, so I didn’t have the heart in me to let every single one of them go (except all of the Voltron: Legendary Defenders posts. I had eight posts for eight seasons, and the series has been removed from streaming and there is no physical media. It’s like it never existed. I saved pdfs of the articles just for me, but I’m not redoing them here).

Anyway, I hurriedly copied and pasted my animation reviews from Wix and they’re here now. Then I copied and pasted my “Fairy Tale Childhood” miniseries from the blog.

The new, original posts from yesterday? They’re not showing up and have been replaced by the hastily copied review posts.

As I’m still learning how to fix the site’s design, and it is indeed a pain in the ass, I’m a bit concerned that you can’t see beyond the most recent five posts. That means nobody’s going to find my K-POP Demon Hunters or The Name and the Key Worldbuilding post. It’s all old stuff.

Anyway, I connected some of my social media to WordPress and all 26 or so posts hit them one by one, right after the other. That’s a lot of stuff to be hit with!

I still want to write “newer” things to supplant the older stuff that made its way to the blog today, but I also have stuff I need to work on for The Beat, too.

Being an author online is hard work!
