Emily in Ecuador is moving from Blogger to WordPress
After months of planning, excitement and a lot of work, I am moving Emily in Ecuador from Blogger to WordPress. I have converted all of my content to a new website that I administer (WordPress) instead of using Google’s free blogging software (Blogger). Why am I moving? Blogger (owned by Google) has not been updated for years. During the past year, I noticed some things that did not work properly in Blogger. Two in particular pushed me to make the decision to abandon ship: People filled out my contact Emily page and I never received the email. Comments on my blog stopped being emailed to me.

I survived the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge and earned a badge! It is tradition for participants to post reflections after the Challenge. These are my 2017 A to Z reflections. How it started In the last week of March, author Donna B. McNicol asked if any of her friends were participating. I said yes! I had been wanting to get into blogging and figured this was a great opportunity. Why not sign up and learn as I go? Theme I wrote about Ecuador since I live in a country that is not well known globally. Topics On April 1, I had a list with a topic for…
