Welcome to your new home, my beautifuls! 🙂 I don’t know if it shows, but I’m super-super-excited about the move! After all these years, and all the heated Twitter discussions, I have finally made it!

My blog is now self-hosted, and I can play around with it as I please! 🙂 Hope you like the new design (I know 2 or 3 of you who will be delighted to see the header has been changed :D)

The major thanks goes to the loveliest Elie Khoury, who did the whole move in less than an hour – and supported me and gave me feedback, and who took my extreme nagging and worrying very positively, thus making the move possible with the most efficiency & fun! Thank you so much Elie!

Now to all of you RSS subscribers, I’m going to please ask you to switch the blog URL from mayazankoul.wordpress.com, to mayazankoul.com. That’s 9 characters less – Save the Planet 🙂

With this, I wish you all a beautiful weekend. Here’s a song dedicated to you: I’m Sticking With You – The Velvet Underground. Enjoy!

    enshalallah alf alf alf mabrouk .. great to see you publishing on a self-hosted blog. this is very cool. I have received your latest wordpress blog post via email with a “click here” .. it was really surprising to see this blog.
    Congratulations on the new blog.

    Just FYI, your feed URL is still the same as the old one, the actual RSS URL is http://feeds.feedburner.com/MayasAmalgam so make sure you updated you feedburner settings to pull from the correct place now after the move.
    I looked at the source for your feedburner page and it has this little nugget:

    which means it’s still pulling from the old site 🙂

    Hmmm, not sure if it’s just me, but Google Reader refuses to acknowledge changing to your new blog… I remove the old link and add http://mayazankoul.com/ and yet it keeps pulling the RSS feeds from wordpress…

    Am I doing something wrong, or are you?!

    (mabrook ill na2leh in all cases:))

        Cool! Yeah it works if I click on the RSS link on your main page and it redirects me to steps to adding it into my Google Reader feeds… However, if I just copy paste the link and Add it to my subscriptions manually on Google Reader, it takes me to the wordpress thing! Anyways, for me it’s solved, but I’d say have a reminder on your old blog in a couple of days that the blog moved… 🙂

        (and why don’t we get notified when you respond to comments?!?! (am I being a spoilt brat and asking for too much!! :p If so, sorry!!))

    Mabrouk Maya!
    one single note though :
    Se dice “mi casa es tu casa” , pero poco importa.
    No te enfades, es una broma.
    ciaoo

      Actually “Mi casa es su casa” is also acceptable 🙂 It is the formal version of the greeting addressed to “usted” 😉

        True ruba except you forgot one important thing.
        You forgot to read the next line “No te enfades, es una broma.”
        I just made the comment cause i thought its funny, you know Maya being so formal and all . Its just not her …
        -_-
