Read MorePlz excuse the mess (again). Trying this migration to Wordpress. Note to bloggers: Don’t ever build your blog on Typepad. You’ll never get it off there. But I should have my site back up, images and all within a couple weeks. I cut my hair!! Why? Change you can believe in! hehe. Seriously though, it…
