I figured it was high time to follow my evolution in the kitchen with evolution in computer science. I finally decided to self-host this blog, emphasis on self. As in don’t people have designers for these things? It would be so cool to know how to really design this thing, but I’m learning little by little the codes, widgets, plug-ins, RSS feeds, etc. that go into building and designing a site from scratch. I’ve been doing a lot of reading and research. It’s the most fun annoyance I’ve dealt with in a while. I’ve become impossible to talk to. It’s like I speak a different language now that only computer geeks get. Why not add all that to my plate?
Wait, am I still subscribed?
The web address is the same and it shouldn’t really affect your access. Email subscribers will continue to receive email notifications when I have new posts, but the folks who have only followed the site on wordpress.com will now only see new posts in your Readers. You won’t receive email notifications unless you also subscribe via email to my new self-hosted site.
So come on over and sign up if you want emails. There will be pizza to greet you. And an awesome new, more functional design.
I don’t think reading or commenting should be too much more of an annoyance, but tell me if it is. I think you may initially have to put in your info to comment, but after a comment or two, I think it’ll be automatic.
Annnnd, I know I’ve said it before, but you guys are a huge part of why I love this spot so much. It brightens my day to get a nice comment or to read a recipe that I can’t wait to make. I appreciate you visiting week after week. I learn so much from you and I’m continually impressed at how much you all get done in a single day, whether you’re doing it in the kitchen or at work, creatively, as a parent or all of the above. You help me be more creative and more forgiving of myself. It really has been an evolution and I’m so excited to bring you with me to my new home! Come look! www.sercocinera.com
What's Cooking 
Congratulations on your evolution to a self-hosted blog! Your new site looks beautiful! Was it really difficult to make the transition?
Thanks so much. It wasn’t really difficult, but I had to learn a lot, like how to transfer everything, and in order to make changes you have to look up coding and find your coding sheets and download plugins. It’s not difficult if you really want it and are obsessive like I am. I actually think a lot of people hire designers, but wordpress does make it as easy as possible. If you do it, don’t hesitate to contact me. It’s really not too bad. So glad I did it!
Good job learning all the computer coding! I love the learning of practical skills combined with the artistic and creative aspects of blogging!
Beautiful blog. All the photography looks fantastic too.
Thank you so much. So sweet of you to take the time to comment!
Credit where it is due!
This new site looks great, Amanda! Great job… I look forward to continue and view your delicious offerings!
Thanks so much, Nancy! I’ve been working on it. I look forward to sharing with you. Thanks for stopping by!
great for you my friend, i hope i had brave enough to self host my blog…
How terrific…wish I had the knowledge and patience to do it but I think I’ll be a wordpress.com girl forever. 😀
Hey Amanda! dont know why but I was unsubscribed.. 😦 did it once again! Good luck with your new site!
PS is that veg pizza? looks yum 🙂
Mila! You have to subscribe to the new site. I think you just followed the old site. Make sure it’s sercocinera.com without the wordpress in it. I love your comments and don’t want to miss any. This is the old site.
Already done! 😉
Congratulations! You must be so pleased. That pizza looks delightful.
Thank you so much, Mary Frances! 🙂
such as pizza,….?

Amanda! Happy new home! This move was not for the weak of heart. I admire it and I’m very proud of you!

Spimply damn delicious pizza!!!
Hey Amanda! I thought something was wrong when I saw the date of the pizza post and clicked away – now I realized it is there for a reason. Oh man. I also noticed I´m unsubscribed, wasn´t intended, now I´m going to follow again. I´m impressed with your ambitious project and can´t wait to see more. When I went to sercocinera.com it said page not found. I guess it´s because there´s work in progress.
Good luck and see you soon!
Thanks, Sabine. That’s odd. Maybe my new server was down. Glad you’re subscribed now. I post once a week so that’s how you’ll know if something is off. I’ll look into it. Xo
Merci!!
