It’s not you, it’s me…
(By the way, stupidest break-up line ever)
I know a lot of you have had issues with my blog being slow or not loading for you lately. I’ve had those issues too!
For a while now, I’ve been getting too much traffic for my shared server, and so I am finally biting the bullet chocolate chip cookie (who wants to bite a bullet? Yuck!) and moving to my own server.
So the real question of the day: Does this blog look strange?
Just ignore any oddities you see for the rest of today as the bloggie moves; hopefully it will be back—and running much more quickly!—very soon.
Also, I was surprised flabbergasted at the overwhelming interest in the giveaway post. There ended up being over 3,000 comments on that post! 😕 It took me a while to make sense of everything, but I finally wrote a wrap-up post and announced the winner.
See: Best Giveaway Ever Wrap-Up.
Thanks a ton for all your patience, and for not abandoning my blog completely out of frustration for its slowness.
Chocolate hugs!!!

What a cool problem to have: too much traffic haha Has it moved already? It looks good.
I’m getting some comments on the old site and some on the new one… I see the new site, but apparently many people don’t yet.
you know you’ve made it big when you need a dedicated server 🙂
Ugh… my wallet’s not so big right now! And I am having such a headache setting this whole thing up! So many technical things going wrong… I just want to make desserts lol!
I never had a problem with the site, but I’m happy that you had so much traffic to crash it! I’m hoping the chia seeds will come to my house soon 🙂
Did Elana contact you? Did you get my email???
Yeah I did. I sent her my address again, but she never said anything back. She said she was handling it though, but it would be nice to know approximately when it will come 😛 It’s okay though, if I don’t end up getting it, it was fun to win a giveaway!
All I can think to say is to keep emailing her, because that’s all I could do. I don’t personally have any of the winning items; that was all coming from her. So email her again.
Okay, I emailed her about a week ago giving her my address again, but I’ll give her one more day and then email again. 🙂
Jeez, Katie! I wish I had your little “problem.” There are just too many people that want to read your lovely blog at the same time. Not that I can blame them. 😉
I wish I had your problem 😉 Happy for you that you are “moving on” to bigger and better servers! I just love all your chocolate-ness and have to admit I have made like a bazillion of your No guilt cookies for family functions and EVERYONE has raved about them! Only problem… I can’t stop eating them.
Awwwww that makes me SO happy!!
congrats! i also wish I had this problem!
Oh gosh, nooooo you don’t. I have had the worst day! They’re asking me to do all these technical things, like backing up my blog… I have had to google search until my eyes are ready to fall out! And now LiveWriter is refusing to post to my new site… I just want to share my fudge pops. Is that too much to ask, LiveWriter???!!!
Oy, the joys of the internet! I am learning so much more from this whole experience than I ever learned in a classroom!
It’s funny to read all these comments about wishing to have the same problem. I’m honestly glad I don’t and I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with this. I think I would freak out and forget it. I’m terrible with technology. I can’t wait for the blog to be completely moved. I love your desserts!
Congrats to Hannah!
That’s great news! Congrats on high traffic and having your own server…you rock! 🙂
Yay for you, not for the problems, but for being so AMAZING and needing your own server… you rock girly! And congrats to the winner too, what a lucky duck! Also, I just wanted to let you know I received the chia seeds from your other giveaway, thanks so much for hosting it… it even came with free stickers and chia & chocolate bar samples, score!
Awesome! I am so glad it arrived ok :).
