Moving to Wordpress

Hi all,

Just wanted to write a brief note to let you know that I'm moving blogging platforms to Wordpress. The process will start today and may continue for a few days. Please be patient if you have any trouble accessing the blog during the transfer. 

I have tried to copy my old design as closely as possible to avoid confusion and you can still access the blog by typing www.onesmileymonkey.com

Thank you for your patience during the transfer. You may continue entering all current giveaways and reading features in the meantime.   I will be posting some very exciting features and giveaways once the transfer finishes.
