Notes
I met Christina's a year ago on voiceBoks. An online community where other mommy and daddy bloggers share our passions in a plethora of blogging topics. Christina presence in the community lead me to better know her though our shared interest in growing our blog traffic and reading tutorial threads that share her knowledge of blog design. What a pleasure to make a new friend and kindred spirit.
Christina is married, with 6 children. Recently disable by Polymyositis and unable to continue working as an RN. With a combination of computer knowledge, want and entrepreneurship she’s found her love of all things blogging and become a blog designer, not to mention, being the owner of Etsy Blogmoda, Club Content, and so much more!
Christina's professionalism, ability and patience was a God send during the move to WordPress! I had already begun making the switch and in the process became aware that I was way in over my head. I made some mistakes before asking for help causing poor Christina many headaches and an in box full of panick stricken emails! Transferring my blog from Blogger to WordPress was no easy task, anything and everything that could go wrong, did! Thankfully, Christina was up for the challenge. Keeping her cool, she meet every hurdle head on and after a short time, worked out all the kinks and mastered the beautiful blog design I now call home.
Christina Arnold is the Owner of Spilled Milkshake Designs…Affordable Web Design & More, where she creates awesome custom blog designs, provides extensive blog and business services, and makes adorable handmade items. You’ll find her blogging away on her personal blog – Spilled Milkshake.
"You have just moments to make a great first impression and inspire your readers to stay. A professional blog design is able to capture the spirit of your blog and be appealing to your readers. I also believe that awesomeblog design shouldn't be expensive."
My sentiments exactly!! Many thanks my friend!

Gosh, I thought I commented on this, but obviously I didn't. Anyway, really like the idea of a hard cider sangria! Something I haven't had. And it would be interesting to read a post about your move to WordPress - this is something I've considered, but haven't yet been motivated to do.

Hi Kitchenriffs, Hard cider is delicious on it's own but when mixed with the fruit and apple brandy it becomes something spectacular!
I've known many bloggers who've made the switch to wp without any headaches, I'm sorry to say, my move to wp.com has be a pain in the behind!! If you're really thinking of making the change I would advise using a professional to help you along the way. If you're just going to move to wp and not host your own site the move is much easier however, if you're looking to make money and build your advertising base you'll want to own your own .com. From what I know of your current blog, you're more tech savvy than me which will be a definite advantage.
I'll take you up on the idea of writing a post detailing my move to wp and all the issues (mostly self inflicted from lack of knowledge). Christina, was really a life saver during the process.
