Finally, after more than a decade, I took my
own advice to get this blog off the free Google blogger platform and onto self-hosted WordPress at
www.madam-mayo.com. It was one part 2019 new year’s resolution and another part yikes-my-book-
Meteor-is-about-to-come-out-and-I-should-have-already-taken-care-of-this.
For the past few weeks I’ve been huffing and puffing up a steeper
learning curve, and one with quite a few more scenic (and not-so-scenic)
detours, than I had anticipated.

I do not aim, by the way, to import the entire
archive of Madam Mayo blog posts going back to 2006. Archaeologists of
Ur-litblogdom are hereby invited to dig around in the archives
right where they always were and shall remain for as long as Googledom, for whatever reasons known only to itself, deems apt. What I am importing to www.madam-mayo.com, with selected links
updated, are those posts that I believe best hold up over time: some
transcripts of my talks, and other items related to my books (including the one in-progress) and
podcasts; book reviews and the richer notes on recommended reading; articles for my writing workshop; and
the now substantial collection of Q & As with other writers.
If you’re new to this blog, a few of last year’s posts that I would
consider representative of what you can expect here going into 2019
include:
As of today, February 4, 2019, the top “Madam Mayo” posts for
2018–some thirty in all– plus a wee batch (mainly workshop posts) from a
sprinkling of earlier years, are now live at
www.madam-mayo.com.
So I have more to do.
I also need to figure out the email sign-up thing…
In case you are also thinking of migrating a blog to WordPress, or
starting a new blog on WordPress, herewith a few resources that I have
found especially helpful:
