Welcome to my new home. I’m so pleased you got here – I’d have missed you if you hadn’t made it 
It’s still a bit ramshackle I’m afraid – you know what it’s like when you’ve just moved and you still haven’t found the box with the corkscrew in – but I’m in the process of getting sorted so please bear with me.
I quite like it here…

OMG! What is it with you? Copying me? Do I need to switch to WordPress, as a loyal Witchy fan then?
**Muttley**
Laurelin // October 5, 2006 at 8:20 am |
Ah, another wordpress convert!
deviousdiva // October 5, 2006 at 9:11 am |
I hope you are very happy in your new home. I really love the clean look of wordpress blogs.
Good for you…
Sarah (Ethically Speaking) // October 5, 2006 at 2:54 pm |
Hey! I found my corkscrew! So we can open you a bottle or 2 when you get around to coming to visit!
simplywondered // October 5, 2006 at 4:28 pm |
don’t think it looks clean with those big speech bubbles – still it’ll take a few weeks to get the furniture moved around an that

if you left little witch over at blogger I can pop in and pick her up for you

Congratulations on your new home!

Hey Witchy,
You have to tell me how you managed to transfer all your posts from blogger. I didn’t know it was possible.
stormcloud // October 5, 2006 at 8:29 pm |
Aha! Found you!
, you’ve picked the same template as Adhesively Challenged!
Yes, I too did the WP defecting thingy. I like their templates much better. Speaking of templates, *not* that I have anything to do with it
I’m still working through all the options and settings and wot not.
witchywoo // October 5, 2006 at 10:19 pm |
Thanks for your good wishes, all
SW – yes, little witchy is still guarding the door at blogger. But I brought her sisters over here and, once I work out how to do it, one of them will be making an appearance.
whiztle – to transfer your posts from blogger go to ‘manage’ on your WP dashboard and then ‘import’ in the sub-menu. It talks you all through it – dead easy!
Stormy – who’s Adhesively Challenged? I shall investigate
witchywoo // October 5, 2006 at 10:20 pm |
Oh look! There’s Witchy!
whiztle // October 5, 2006 at 11:41 pm |
Thanks for tip! I shall put it to good use.
stormcloud // October 6, 2006 at 9:59 am |
I’m still tinkering about with all the settings, finally put my profile piccy up yesterday, it’s come out looking better than on Blogger.
The only problem with WP that I’ve found, is the inability to tinker with the CSS (unless one pays for upgrade).
That includes the ability to have preview on the comments, coz I continually forget to close tags and stuff, but perhaps I’m just old and forgetful, now what was I talking about again??
simplywondered // October 7, 2006 at 12:06 am |
and of course the lw is still standing like a tutelary deity protecting the hearth and home at my blog; for which I am grateful. don’t suppose the clanger might get an airing on the new server?(portal – whatever it is)
Totally separate, but I wanted to post a comment at adhesively unchallenged, but it seems to want a password. any thoughts.
simplywondered // October 7, 2006 at 12:22 am |
Totally off-thread, but I know you’ll forgive me. Have just read the latest at Biting Beaver and I hope anyone who wishes her well would want to go to her site and tell her. Sorry to hijack your site for this Withcy but nobody goes to mine and I know you’ll think it important – and of course just move this somewhere else or whatever.
witchywoo // October 7, 2006 at 1:13 am |
Thanks for that last comment SW – it’s staying right where it is.
natasha // October 7, 2006 at 1:59 pm |
This is looking great. I like it!
ethicallyspeaking // October 8, 2006 at 12:46 am |
I take it back. I’m not going to wordpress – I can’t tinker with the side bar like I want to.
Oh and Witchy – you need to pop your links list up hon, I can’t find anything…..
witchywoo // October 8, 2006 at 12:51 am |
I’m getting to that…. A tad snowed under at the moment though
Burrow // October 8, 2006 at 4:58 am |
And I was able to update my blogroll in a timely manner this time! WOO!!
Y. Carrington // October 8, 2006 at 8:26 am |
Hello Witchy! Love your new home!
stormcloud // October 8, 2006 at 10:30 am |
Witchy
WP has a bug at the moment (setting up the blogroll), only happened a few days ago (when I set up Stormy blog, no probs, when I set up a new one, big strange probs!).
Here’s their reply:
“Hi, You found a bug! Not that finding a bug is so great – but it explains the problem. I can duplicate the problem too so we can fix it
Sorry it happened!”
I was relieved, mainly because I thought at one point I was going mad! Hopefully they will fix it quickly, as it affects new bloggers, so they wouldn’t want to put them off.
stormcloud // October 8, 2006 at 10:35 am |
SW:
“but I wanted to post a comment at adhesively unchallenged, but it seems to want a password”
I’ll have a look at my settings on that blog. I know it is probably due to the setting in general options “users must be registered and logged in to comment”. I took that to mean like Blogger, meaning must have a WP account.
I have just taken it off now, and I’ll see how that flies. Basically, I just default to maximum troll alert, as I’m sick of them.
So, have another go at the comments SW!
witchywoo // October 8, 2006 at 6:11 pm |
Thanks for the bug alert Stormy – I’ll bear it in mind
Lovely to see so many friendly faces here already!
stormcloud // October 8, 2006 at 6:22 pm |
Witchy:
Seems the bug has now been fixed, my blogroll looks how it should be!
(BTW, I didn’t mind that tech support were jovial in tone)
Violet Socks // October 8, 2006 at 10:22 pm |
I like your new place! And the banner image is great. Is that London?
ethicallyspeaking // October 8, 2006 at 11:38 pm |
that you in the pointy hat then?
witchywoo // October 8, 2006 at 11:38 pm |
Thanks Dr Socks
It may well have been London… I was tinkering in order to get a pic of the real Witchy-woo up there. Well… it is the month of halloween and all.
Laurelin // October 9, 2006 at 1:55 am |
Love the picture Witchy!
by the way, your links aren’t working. I think there’s an extra ‘http’ in each of the addresses that needs deleting.
alyx // October 9, 2006 at 5:43 am |
*Waves.*
witchywoo // October 9, 2006 at 9:29 am |
hopefully all in working order now.
whiztle // October 9, 2006 at 12:13 pm |
That’s funny Witchy! All that’s missing is the black cat.
brownfemipower // October 10, 2006 at 1:08 am |
witchywoo! i just made it over here! What a great new site! I love the picture at top–and I second devious, I find the look of wordpress to be zounds above blogger–
jack // October 10, 2006 at 9:00 am |
Looks good, your Witchyness.
**waving**
simplywondered // October 10, 2006 at 10:23 pm |
hmmm…call me picky (and as the owner of the least visual blog ever) not wilod on the purple. maybe I’m thinking of Lydia the modest christian seamstress.
stormy – still seem to be getting asked for my, login if I want to post on stormy blog on wordpress. sorry; probably major technical ineptitude here. virtual version of classic male habit of waving the remote control around and looking vaguely discomforted in hope passing woman will take remote and do whatever needs doing to save himself from thinking or even getting off ever-spreading arse.
simplywondered // October 10, 2006 at 10:30 pm |
and forgot to ask, stormy – and can’t ask you at your place so just using my mum’s house to have friends round and annoy her – where’s the fridge, witchy? – did you delete one of your comments on the veil issue at my place – I wanted to agree with it but found it gone…didn’t even know one could do that! if you do drop back to mine (well I can’t relax with mum stomping around asking if my ‘friend’ (significant look) would like a cup of tea every two minutes – no we’re bloody snogging, right? it’s not like that) I’d love a hint on where to find the thing that lets you know who has visited etc. I don’t want it explaining (not waving the remote, promise) but would love a link to where I could get off my arse and read it for myself. Unless of course you want to do all my work for me.
No witchy, I haven’t done my assignment for college – I am talking to my friends – just talking oh god you are sooooo unfair I’m going to bed.
witchywoo // October 10, 2006 at 10:31 pm |
Waddya mean “not wilod [sic] on the purple”?? Purple is de rigueur for witches, doncha know.
Took me blimming ages.
Clanger set for return post halloween. Ok?
Now GO!

I am just too good to you – you know that, don’t you.
Sarah (Ethically Speaking) // October 10, 2006 at 11:21 pm |
Losing the Witchy? *sob*
witchywoo // October 10, 2006 at 11:32 pm |
Not losing her, Sarah. She’s having a well earned rest but, never fear, she’ll be back
simplywondered // October 11, 2006 at 8:18 am |
I’m not worthy (particularly with your blog featuring on one of NZ’s major radio networks – presumably one of at least errr one – just twiddle the cat’s whiskers Mitch). You know all I do is turn up with my friends from uni, put my feet on the clean furniture, demand food, steal the last of the cooking sherry and sit discussing Simone de Beauvoir with my girlfriend in my bedroom – don’t you dare clear out my stuff.
And we so aren’t discussing Simone de Beauvoir
Re the not wilod on purple – I knew I had no taste – I had forgotten I couldn’t write English. Should have read my (not for sale to a porn site) blog – readership 6 (cos nobody has asked to buy it) for details on that….
Clanger yeah!
Thank you very much for the link.
simplywondered // October 11, 2006 at 8:21 am |
it says it takes 15 minutes – can’t you do it for me. and can you get off the phone I’ve got to call Wazza.
yes actually – GOT TO.
Sarah (Ethically Speaking) // October 11, 2006 at 5:56 pm |
Bog off SW – she’s way too busy to mess with your blog. Go do it yourself!
And use your mobile to call Wazza.
Cheeky git!
simplywondered // October 11, 2006 at 10:36 pm |
can’t use the mobile cos SHE won’t buy me a new top-up card. i hate her. she was never young. I’m going to live with Dazza; his mum’s amazing.
witchywoo // October 11, 2006 at 10:42 pm |
Don’t forget to pack Pooh Bear
Sarah (Ethically Speaking) // October 11, 2006 at 11:10 pm |

simplywondered // October 12, 2006 at 5:21 pm |
shut up i hate you all i am an adult and demand to be treated as such
stop laughing !!!
you can get me at dazza’s if you care which i very much doubt god why are old people so selfish
witchywoo // October 12, 2006 at 5:33 pm |
I just called Dazza’s mum. She said never in a million years.
Fish fingers and alphabites for tea?
Sarah (Ethically Speaking) // October 12, 2006 at 8:46 pm |
Ooh, my fav’s. Can I bring the kids?
simplywondered // October 12, 2006 at 10:38 pm |
i am so not going to hang around with a load of stupid kids – anyway sarah just laughs at me cos she doesn’t understand me.
you can tell that witch (as I am not speaking to her) that I will have alphabites but not fish fingers as i am a vegetarian now. she can do me something else.
dazza’s mum is a witch. dazza and i are getting a flat.
Sarah (Ethically Speaking) // October 12, 2006 at 11:52 pm |
My kids are NOT stupid….
But you’ll go hang out with Dazza……
Oh and SW? WITCH? Woman In Total Control of Herself! Happy to be called a Witch hon.
Sarah (Ethically Speaking) // October 12, 2006 at 11:52 pm |
Witchy, kids say can they have baked beans too please?
simplywondered // October 14, 2006 at 12:04 am |
but that’s WITCOH…
witchywoo // October 14, 2006 at 12:42 am |
One doesn’t consider the ‘of’ in the acronym, SW.
But I knew you know that.
Fey Hag // October 14, 2006 at 6:47 am |
Witchywoo; please could you make the writing on your beautifully coloured banner just a tad larger for these curious but very old eyes?.
I love your Blog.
witchywoo // October 14, 2006 at 4:06 pm |
Hey, Fey. Thank you
Have tinkered. Hope that’s better.
Sarah (Ethically Speaking) // October 14, 2006 at 4:57 pm |
SW
I am Queen of the Acronym remember? So I’m right!
simplywondered // October 14, 2006 at 11:13 pm |
…and while you’re under my roof, you’ll play by my rules. You are all so squaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare.
Bet you burn the potato waffles too.
Did one of your so-not-stupid kids move my pooh bear?
Lend me a tenner for the deposit on a flat?

sorry – lazza distracted me – he’s going to share with us
Sarah (Ethically Speaking) // October 14, 2006 at 11:53 pm |
Wazza, Lazza and Dazza?
Oh how imaginative.
Pooh bear is in the wash. It wasn’t waffles it was mash tonight and I didn’t burn it.
You reckon Witchy objects to us using her blog like this?
witchywoo // October 15, 2006 at 12:15 am |
You treat this place like a hotel anyway…
Lend you a tenner? hah! Ok then, when you’ve paid back the £72.14 you already owe me.
Now get on with your homework and turn that bloody music down. Can’t hear myself think…
Sarah (Ethically Speaking) // October 15, 2006 at 12:33 am |
Do not treat this like a hotel! Oh you meant him, that’s ok then.
Hey hon, if you’re my Big Sis and you’re his Mum – does that make me his Aunt? Hellfire, I have a nephew!
simplywondered // October 15, 2006 at 11:00 pm |
No I am not related to either of you; I divorce both of you. Women In Tragic Case of denial that you are old and sad and out of touch with the young and cool like me Hah. You said we could leave out some of the letters.
Don’t suppose Sarah could lend me a tenner…
Sarah (Ethically Speaking) // October 15, 2006 at 11:04 pm |
No, we didn’t say you could leave out letters, we said that the extra word didn’t count.
Sarah (Ethically Speaking) // October 15, 2006 at 11:07 pm |
Or are you saying we should ignore “of denial that you are old and sad and out of touch with the young and cool like me” ??
A tenner? Not bloody likely. Go busk.
simplywondered // October 16, 2006 at 9:23 pm |
No I just don’t count – everyone in the world appears to be more important to me. If she had spent time parenting instead of looking at her bloody silly blog, I’d have been OK.
can’t busk – witch never bought me a guitar in case I found my true voice and wrote songs against her regime.
fiver, then?
