This kit was inspired by my good friend Mel, who saw a kit made by Monica Larsen and wanted the elements inside that kit, except Monica’s kit was for personal use only, so she came to me and asked me to make something similar since my creations are all commercial use. Mel makes Poser art, you can see her store here: Dolphins Dreams.

**edited to add in that due to confusion about how my kits could be used for some commercial purposes but not others, all my kits are now Personal Use/S4H/S4O….please contact me if you wish to request permission for Commercial Use

Enjoy

Kit contains: 10 papers, 3 large bow wraps, 1 large gold bow wrap, 3 embroidered stars, 3 ribbon wrappers, 3 starred ribbons, 3 lace ribbons, 3 star brads, 3 butterflies, 3 flower bunches, 12 jewels, 1 beaded dragonfly, 1 sequined divider, 1 frame, 1 gold silk flower, 1 gold star button, 1 star charm with chain, 1 star charm without chain, 1 velvet gold ribbon

As you can see I have the new blog all up and running, yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy LOL

I even managed to get all my comments over as well as the posts….Wordpress has a function where you can import your posts from an old blog through the RSS feed, so I did that, but was stumped as to how to get the comments over, but I thought there must be a way using the MySQL databases lol

So firstly, I contacted my hosting provider…hmmmm….

“While we’re happy to provide a functional development environment, we cannot assist in migrating specific applications since this is beyond the scope of our support. There are many resources on the net including community forums and documentation on phpMyAdmin or Wordpress that may be able to help, and if you have any specific questions as you are going along or error messages you are getting, we are happy to try to point you in the right direction.”

Well you can see how that went rofl and I didn’t have the faintest clue where else to post, so I turned to the Zen Cart forum, they have an awesome support community and the help there has always been right where you needed it.

Not only did the mods allow my completely off topic post to stay, but yes….someone did actually post instructions on how to do it, so I spent all day yesterday editing Excel files to make the data match (different databases so they were structured differently lol)

Managed to import it successfully after a couple of hitches but the dates/times did not import….so I thought I was gonna hafta edit almost 3000 comments individually to correct the dates…..after about 200 and three hours editing I figured there hadda be a way to get the dates to import properly too

So off to trusty old Google….and well it seems you can format how Excel displays the dates too, woot for that LOL

Two changes to get it right, and got it right I did…..and now I have my blog all back to ‘normal’ with a brand spanking new script (Wordpress LOL) and I love it, so many new different features hehe and the old, no-longer-updated-no-support blog is gone and deleted

I am in the process of installing a Wordpress blog on my site, this one I am currently using is a bit buggy with conforming to certain standards LOL and I am hoping the Wordpress one won’t be…..hopefully I can figure out the themes thing and get it looking like this one to fit in, cross yer fingers LOL

Course it means I will have to add in my posts all over again and lose all the lovely comments, though I am trying to see if I can manage to import them from the database for this one…..just don’t think my limited skills are up to that LOL

Once I have it all up and running and tweaked to my satisfaction I will set the index page for this blog to meta-refresh to the new one, and post the new url for everyone currently linking to me to change to

**edited in to add in the link since I have it pretty much as I want it, just not the posts yet, still waiting to see if someone can help me with that or if I lose the comments LOL

I received a blog award from WillowRaven and Sara, thanx guys!
