coolTopic: Shoo Akhbarik (what's up)
I am so excited! I am in the process of moving to wordpress.
Unfortunately, there are no tools yet made to transfer tripod blogs to wordpress so i will have to do it all by hand. It will be very painful and long. But it has to be done because i just cannot stand the ads at this site anymore. This latest one with sound just pushed me over the edge. People are having trouble with this site and i as well am having problems with it.
With myMinaret site powered by wordpress, i have several 'mosque' themed styles to choose from, which fit with my title, (though there are many other themes also, very beautiful ones might i add) in addition to the following features:
- Categories (very important in order to have a truly useful and beneficial blog)
- Password Protected posts (can't wait to use this feature!)
- Can enable or disable comments for each post
- a 'pages' feature which lets you put non-blog content on your site. I will use this to transfer my Hajj Journal, Mother's Group, & Mother's Prayer Manual pages to my blog. So in a sense my website and blog will combine to one site and you won't have to go back and forth to find something. And All my links can be in one place instead of two.
- see the other features here: http://myminaret.com/features/
Slowly but surely, i will be moving my links, posts, and website pages to the new blog. Please update your bookmarks. This blog is now closed, but will remain up until i finish moving everything and everyone gets the new link. New posts will be up on the new site. I apologize to my dear readers for the annoying ads and other problems you have encountered on my site.
Maliha of the Lightness of Being Blog said it beautifully in her old blog, and echoes my same sentiments, subhanAllah, in a poem she wrote to explain her blog move:
.forever in flight.
"because i'm bored, it's spring, i'm cleaning, and word press rocks.
because its time.
i am giving blogosphere one more shot, before i sign off. forever. maybe.
because the illusion of newness grants me hope.
maybe someday i'll change. for the better.
for now. i move on.
sweep up the old place.
pack up the good stuff.
leave the strands of regrets, sorrow, hollowness behind.
and imagine.
one more time.
with change all good things happen.
...because i'm a restless soul.
and only in movement do i find
pieces of what i'm looking for.
because i yearn for lightness
and flight."
