I’m moving sites…

This blog post is a little bit different than usual. Let me explain…

I’ve decided to purchase a WordPress personal plan which will remove ads from my blog for readers and also provide me with some other features not available on the free version. At present all my existing site posts are being imported to the new site so fingers crossed that all goes well there. Once that has finished I’m hoping that anyone following my current blog will automatically be following the new version. I’m pretty sure that this will be the case, but fingers crossed!

I may also change the title of the blog too, although I’m not yet decided on that. The main reason is that there is another photographer from Sheffield going by the Steel City Snapper title, although they tend to post elsewhere (although I’m pretty certain I got the name first). They are quite prolific in promoting themselves locally though, which I don’t tend to do all that much, so changing the name of my blog might be a way to avoid any potential confusion down the line.

At the time of typing this, there are still over 5,000 posts and other bits and pieces still to transfer as part of the import process. It’ll probably take all night to finish.

I’m not sure what will happen with this post – I think it will miss out on the currently running import, so I’ll probably re-post it on the new site when it’s up and running.

Anyway, apropos of nothing, here’s a picture. As the sun sets on my free blog, I’ll prepare for the new one to be born. See you all on the other side, I hope!
