Big changes are coming and I hope you’ll continue to be a part of all the fun. I’m getting a big blog make-over and making the move to Word Press. What’s the fun in that for you?

Well, if you’re a subscriber – or if you become one – you’ve got a chance to win!

See, for the most part, the move should be pretty seamless for you and, other than seeing my shiny new blog, you won’t notice much difference. You’ll still find me at same address and I’ll still be doing things like The Weekly Wrap-Up and the Homeschool Showcase (with spiffy new buttons), reviews, and giveaways.

I’ll still be sharing homeschooling ideas, offering tips and resources and, generally, trying to encourage homeschooling families. You’ll still get all the wit (or sarcasm, depending on the way you look at it) that you’ve always gotten.

Plus, I’ll be merging my weight-loss blog, Eclipsed, with my homeschool blog since fitness is just a part of who I am now. It made sense to separate the two when I first started my weight-loss journey because it was such a deeply personal thing that I felt like it needed its own space.

Now, though, it seems silly (not to mention time-consuming) to maintain two blogs when they’re both just a part of who I am.

So, how can you win? Well, one thing that will be changing is Google Friend Connect. It’s going away for Word Press users. If this is how you follow Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers:

GFC

you won’t be able to continue to follow me when I move to Word Press.

And, I don’t want to lose you. So, I’m hoping, if you’re currently following WUHS through Google Friend Connect, that you’ll sign up to follow through email or RSS feed.

As a thank you, I’ll be giving away a $25 Amazon gift card to one subscriber. This includes existing subscribers, too. So, if you already read WUHS in a reader or through email, you can enter, too.

Once you’ve subscribed, the next email or RSS feed post will contain a giveaway code at the bottom of the post, under my signature. (If you’re already a subscriber, it should be there now.) You’ll need this code to enter the giveaway. Just enter the info requested and the giveaway code in the Raffle Copter box below. If you’re reading in a reader or by email, you’ll need to click over to the blog to enter.  That it’s!

If all goes as planned, the changes should take place late next Friday night, June 1. I’ll draw a winner at that time and notify the winner by email. Official rules apply.

I look forward to seeing you at my new digs soon!

  1. Well, I am definitely a loyal subscriber already! I'll be thrilled to see the weight loss stuff, too. I could use the motivation. Don't even like to think about how much weight I put on with this baby!

  2. Welcome to the WordPress family!  Can't wait to see your shiny new look, you know how I love blog designs ;).

    I'm glad that you merging the two blogs, because you're no longer escaping the shadow of obesity, instead you are living a new fit, thin lifestyle!

  3. Of course I'm already a subscriber, but woohoo for your change to WP! I loooooove it so much (but be prepared for a little bit of a learning curve because it is very different). And excited that you'll be merging the two blogs, too!
