    did you notice anything different?

    January 31, 2012 by Wendy S

    No, I’m not refering to the creepy photo that has been making the rounds on Facebook.  I’m not writing a whole blog post about that.

    The theme I’m using didn’t change (I did that almost one year ago today!).  The colours are the same.  I’m still mapsgirl. The RSS feed didn’t change. The crazy thing is that depending on how you got here, you won’t even notice the change. That is kinda cool, because it means that people can’t lose their way to my blog. 

    Here’s a hint — You can still type https://www.mapsgirl.ca/ to get here becuase Google Blogger is smart enough to forward the page to my

    NEW URL!!
    I’m happy to announce that I officially have my own domain.
    It is none other than

    http://www.mapsgirl.ca!!
    I would like to ask all of my friends who have included me in your blogrolls or have linked to my page in some way from your blog, would you mind changing the URL to my page?
    But if you haven’t seen the photo from Facebook — here it is:
    Notice anything in this photo?

    exciting things to come

    April 21, 2011 by Wendy S

    I have a little something in the works.

    There’s a teaser on my right side bar U+2192.svg

    (So those reading in a RSS reader or by email are going to need to click through *wink* )

    I hope to have all the details confirmed over the weekend for a nice big post on Monday!
