I didn’t want the post to be too misleading.  Here’s the thing.  I have really loved wordpress.  I still do.  When I started blogging, I researched available blog sites and wordpress seemed to have exactly the options that I needed.  Unfortunately, our needs have changed.  I have been increasingly uncomfortable with how much information about Ella is just out there on the internet so I considered just making this blog private.  WordPress limits viewers of a private blog to a very small number so as to make this not feasible for us.  I also have wanted to post video clips of Ella and, as mentioned earlier, wordpress makes this difficult and expensive.  Additionally,  formatting posts has increased in difficulty as well.

Due to these and other factors,  our blog has been moved to:

http://mattandkatherinekammeyer.blogspot.com

I moved all the old posts but, regretfully, was not able to move the comments with them.

I have decided to follow my wonderful sister-in-law’s lead and make it private.  Because it is private, you will need to be invited and thereafter sign in to see it (I apologize to all you ‘reader’ users out there as posts won’t automatically show up on your reader and hope that you continue to check in on us anyway!).  I sent out invites to people who regularly look at and/or comment on the blog.  If you have been a more passive reader (which is okay by us) and would like an invitation, just comment here or send me an email.  I will not be deleting this blog permanently for a few months at least to ensure that everyone who wants to find our new blog is able to.

The thing we will miss about wordpress is the stats.  We loved being able to see who visited, what people were looking at and who searched for what to get here.  (I think that was the only way I could even get Matt to post!)  It would be a little silly to continue to post recipes on a private blog so, again due to inspiration from Lauren, I am starting a cooking blog here on wordpress at alchemistkitchen.wordpress.com

Also available are my ‘old’ blogs:

Just One of the Flock and The Land of Stories and Wishes which I have not updated in some time but will try to do better on!
