Moving on
Today I’ll be moving this blog to the self-hosted WordPress platform. I’ll have more control over the look of the site and am hoping to make it more accessible for low vision users and those who rely on screen readers.
Things may look different but hopefully everything will keep running smoothly as expected. If not, you’ll know I messed up somewhere in the move (haha!) You can also keep in touch with me through Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/gospelwine/
For anyone else looking to move to self-hosting, there’s a pretty good guide here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-properly-move-your-blog-from-wordpress-com-to-wordpress-org/
I would add that I had trouble moving files with another website that I manage as the importer tool didn’t seem to work with the latest version of WordPress. I had to install an OLDER version of WordPress, import my files, then update to the latest version. Research and pray!
Blessings to all!
