Yes, you all complained about me being on Blogger. What you didn’t know (except a few of you who stumbled over here by accident) is that I was already in the process of switching over.
Thanks to Joefish for all his hard work to get me moved over to this beautiful new blog. I love it here. :) :) :) I think I probably owe him about 825,000,000 favors for putting up with me, but … well, I guess I can make vlogs where I kick at stuff and say “rawr” and those count as favors?
Please feel free to grab a lemon drop, look around (up, down, to the side, all around, lots of treasures here), and tell me what you think. Any negative comments will, of course, be deleted immediately since this is a dictatorship. (Um, I mean, thank you for your constructive criticism. :D )
PS – Yes, this was the secret from before. :)

Holy fucking shit. I don’t believe it. The world has stopped!
October 29th, 2007 at 8:30 am
Why, you look mahvalous, dahling!
Terrific new look. This had to be difficult for you because you’ve had the same design for years!
But it suits you just fine.
October 29th, 2007 at 8:58 am
I dig the new digs.
Mad props!
October 29th, 2007 at 9:19 am
This looks so familiar. I feel strangely at home here.
October 29th, 2007 at 9:38 am
So, was this your big secret??
The new look is bee-yooo-tee-full. Me likey mucho.
October 29th, 2007 at 9:53 am
I was just busting your chops because I wanted you to admit you were on the way to moving.
But you didn’t. You kept it a secret.
Then when Blogger went with e-mail comments… I thought I was wrong.
But as usual I was right.
And I like it… quite a bit.
October 29th, 2007 at 10:20 am
Yay! A real blog!
October 29th, 2007 at 10:21 am
But… but… YOU are the one I always looked to as justification for MY still being on Blogger! Then you go and let me down by jumping ship. :-( Kidding, kidding. It looks great!
Also, I am proud to be in the “Top Commenters of all time” list. Whoo.
On another note, I FINALLY redid my template last night and had to rebuild my links list, and then TWO of you went and changed your URLs while I was doing so. The nerve… Don’t worry. I’ll update the address poste haste.
October 29th, 2007 at 10:29 am
Hey Popstar! While I’m not exactly happy that you jumped ship on Blogger, you know I’ll follow you anywhere, regardless of whether or not I like your new digs. So here I am! I will try to keep the negativity to a minimum for fear of being deleted. So here’s a postive: I like that Top Commenters list feature.
October 29th, 2007 at 10:43 am
Woot!
Congrats on making the jump, Poppy! I get all teary-eyed when bloggers get their own domain and blogging software. sniff
I love the layout and the look too, it is just really well done!
October 29th, 2007 at 10:45 am
Pretty! I think cat pictures will go well with the decor
October 29th, 2007 at 11:01 am
VERY NICE! Now I need to go register & stuff…LOVE IT!
October 29th, 2007 at 11:09 am
Moving is never easy, and there’s some definite dark magic at play to get so much moved over so seamlessly. Me thinks a sacrifice to the blog gods was involved
I’m impressed, and congrats on the move.
Now about that top poster listing, I’m only 490 posts behind for the year…thankfully there’s a couple months left to go!
October 29th, 2007 at 12:25 pm
Wicked cool, Poppy! I am trying to figure out how to do it myself, but am having panic attacks just thinking about it..
October 29th, 2007 at 1:47 pm
I have a deja-vue. A blue one, without accents.
October 29th, 2007 at 3:26 pm
Abs, I can’t help I’m so pretty that the world stops for me. (Wait, what?)
TeeboPop, thank you.
Really more of a function of my laziness that the blog looked the same for so long at Blogger.
Mikey, thank you!!!
At least now I get to do poppables!
Jfu, I sure as hell hope so. You’re the only one who knows how this thing works! (Juuuuuuust kidding.
)
B, thank you.
Dawg, you’re just trying to wear out my smilies. Bad Dawg!
H, yes. Almost three years late, but better late than never.
Stef, do I need to sick Ellen Feis on you? (That link is more for the others…)
Sour, I’m glad you’ll follow me anywhere.
Pat, thanks!!!! I’m pretty excited about it. Took a lot of tweaking. (Mostly on Joe’s part, I just sat back and watched things whir.)
Bearette, thank you. Kitty picture!!!
Tug, thanks sweetie.
Hay, the fish is a magical creature. He deserves all the credit.
LM, it does take a bit of determination and drive to get it all moved over. I’ve been thinking about it for a good 6 months…
Franky!!!!!!!!, I have no idea what you’re talking about. As usual.
But I still 
you.
October 29th, 2007 at 7:06 pm
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I can subscribe to your comments. I’m so happy.
Now I can be seen not just as a number or a blogger username, but an actual gravatar. I’m so happy.
And oh, man I have a long way to go on the commenters list. But I’m still so happy.
Let me know if you need any assistance or if joefish is unavailable at times – I can support wordpress like the best of them, and my services are free! :) One of your first acts as new princess of poppycede.com is to customize your theme as your own, so start your wishlist.
October 29th, 2007 at 7:19 pm
Wah, about time you showed up! I’m still all set, but thanks for the offer. And, yah, step up your commenting campaign!
October 29th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
Hey, I thought you didn’t want to drink lemon drops anymore….
I sure as hell don’t.
October 29th, 2007 at 9:37 pm
Your gravatar is here! Yeeeeee! Trust me, sweetie. I’m never having another lemon drop again. Lemonade? Anytime. Lemon drop? Nope.
But they were good goin’ down, and we had a wild time on the ride to feeling illllllll. 
October 30th, 2007 at 8:23 am
Yay, new place! I LOVE it here, especially since it isn’t blocked by the mean and nasty powers-that-be. Now I can come here to play during the day!
October 30th, 2007 at 9:11 am
Mel, you should see the big smile on my face. NOT BLOCKED FROM WORK… and your gravatar is my lake photo.
October 30th, 2007 at 9:11 am
(Or maybe it’s your avatar. Whichever.)
October 30th, 2007 at 9:20 am
You had it right the first time… it’s my gravatar
October 30th, 2007 at 9:22 am
This looks great on an iPod Touch
October 30th, 2007 at 9:25 am
Mel, not to be all egotistical over my own mastered photo skills, but: Your gravatar is gorgeous, dahling.
Franky,
October 30th, 2007 at 2:03 pm
About time! Awesome. I can’t believe you kept this a secret. Now I’m hurt.
October 30th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
Avi, shut it.
(You’ve been busy. If you bothered to ever talk to me you maybe would have known.)
October 30th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
So wait… you would have told Avi had he talked to you??? I ate CEREAL with you and you kept it a secret from me!!!
Just be glad I’m not
over it.
Otherwise I might be possessed to… mmmm… do the
dance! Yeah! Scary stuff right there, I assure you. 
October 30th, 2007 at 3:49 pm
Dawg,
But I didn’t.
October 30th, 2007 at 3:49 pm
PS – Bad Dawg!
October 30th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
October 30th, 2007 at 4:14 pm
Never gonna happen…
October 30th, 2007 at 4:15 pm
I had such high hopes…
October 30th, 2007 at 4:20 pm
Why you want to be hit is beyond me.
October 31st, 2007 at 9:24 pm
Cheers. Looks like I need an avatar. Lick the salt.
November 2nd, 2007 at 10:00 pm
This place rocks! I can’t believe you made us wait that long to find out with no hints or anything. Nice work!

November 4th, 2007 at 5:42 pm
Awesome Poppy!!! It feels so good to finally get off blogger, doesn’t it??
November 4th, 2007 at 5:58 pm
Dan, thanks.
Or, you could just keep being the moofia milk guy. Your choice!
Jen, thank you. :) I keep a mean secret? I at least told you there was a secret.
Lucy, yes it does.
