DOMAIN: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
Fu fu fu :3 Welcome to pandaphilia.com! Hehe I became infatuated with the concept of having my own website without the .blogspot (that I frequently mis-type into .blogpost haha) a few months ago, but hesitated at purchasing a domain because there are all sorts of ways a tech-deficient ditz like me can mess things up. Funny how I think $10 can be a little much to toss to Google for 365 days of hosting when I consider that a good deal on a piece of clothing that I will maybe wear 5 times the entire year. However, the perfect opportunity came knocking on my door that I could not refuse!
My sweet boyfriend called me today to tell me that GoDaddy.com was offering 1-year domain hosting for only 99 cents. That is a crazy deal! I thought ... McDonald's cheeseburger or blog hosting, McDonald's cheeseburger or blog hosting? Haha just kidding xD (McD's makes me pretty sick every time and is the epitome of American obesity problem causers). Turns out, with all the fees and some fancy footwork avoiding all the unnecessary offers and ads, I gladly parted with $1.17 USD and now am the proud owner of my own .com! Of course I am exactly the same Angie as always with my crazy outfit posts and picspam reviews and ramblings. This was a good dollar spent.
In case you're wondering, the coupon code is SCHOOL99 (good til 8/31 or first 7500 registrations)
I had to use countless tutorials and ask my boyfriend every 5 seconds what to do - the main confusers were DNS settings (couldn't get pandaphilia.com to be the same as www.pandaphilia.com), domain forwarding, and simply the maze of a registration process at GoDaddy. If I didn't have this awesome coupon deal, I think I would have simply given up and registered through Google.
All in all, I'm ready to blog with this sparkly new .com! I want to revamp the layout a bit sometime and reorganize the left sidebar. I took outfit pictures earlier today outside in the blazing heat but haven't edited them yet. I was racing the setting sun again but most pictures turned out pretty well. I can't wait to show you later! ; ) Please tell me if there are weird things happening (subscriptions, bookmarks, dashboard, etc) because of this switch from .blogspot to .com. Have a brilliant Tuesday, lovelies!

Congrats on getting your .com :). I'm going to stay away from that for now--or maybe ever heh. I don't want to mess with html, period. Perhaps one day you can do a basic tutorial!
