Hi, there, you awesome dudes and dudettes! I’m in the middle of merging my two blogs. Specifically, I’m moving most, if not all, of the recipes from TheNoviceGardener over to FiestaFriday.net. I feel it’s time for me to focus all my efforts on ONE blog and do a good job at it, rather than dividing my attention on TWO different blogs and do a poor job at it.
I haven’t decided what I will do to TheNoviceGardener. I have a few options:
- I can shut it down and get all those embarrassing “404 not found errors” on old links
- I can mark it private, and get the perplexing “this site has been marked private” on old links
- I can just let it hang as archive, but no new updates will be posted
Regardless of what I will do, it will be pretty lonely here. So I would like to bring you over to FiestaFriday.net where the real party is happening. You will find a group of super friendly and extremely creative friends there, where we gather weekly to celebrate the good life with good food, occasionally stories, too.
But if you can’t wait until I do, you can join now.

The Novice Gardener 
Good idea Angie. You can’t possibly handle 2 sites especially with FF so busy,
It was getting harder to pay equal amount of attention, and I want to be cooking and posting recipes instead of being tied down managing the 2 blogs. I’m glad you approved 🙂
Yes it’s the only logical thing to do!’
Wow, there’s a party going on over there, will pop over if I can find the follow link! Join me on Instagram too! 😀
Oh, I will def join you on Instagram! If you click on my gravatar/icon here, it’ll bring you to Fiesta Friday.
Actually, if you click on my name. I’m off to check out your insta!
It makes sense to have one blog. 🙂
You need not maintain the Novice Gardener blog separately. Just migrate the content and then set up redirection. So any one who searches for Novice Gardener is redirected to Fiesta Friday .
All your links in search engines will automatically be updated to the Fiesta Friday.
Do let me know if you need any help.
I thought about redirection, and I may need to talk to you about it. Thanks!
Great idea Angie…look forward to visiting the consolidated view! Zeba
See you at the party?
Working on it Angie …. This snow blizzard has thrown off my cooking plans 😦 spending the time trying to dig ourselves out!
Hey stranger, you have been busy and I have been absent. Good luck with your merger and hopefully I will get a chance to join you all again.
I have! Especially the last couple of weeks. Nice to see here, Stacey, but since I’ll be leaving this space soon, why don’t you mosey over to FiestaFriday? I’m sure a bunch of people want to welcome you! 😄😄
Great idea to focus on one blog! I’m heading right over to Fiesta Friday!! Good luck! 🙂
And red carpet rolled out waiting for you! 🙂
I’m sure you’ll make the best decision Angie! I must say that “The Novice Gardener” was one of the very first blogs I followed. You had somehow come across mine, followed, liked, and made nice engaging comments. I hadn’t really known what blogging was all about. I’m still trying to get a real handle of it. But I soon got a better idea after reading “TNG” and being introduced to the community you were a part of and which you greatly expanded. Thanks old friend! I hope you will include recipes from your garden in Fiesta Friday!
Of course! Just because I don’t blog @TNG anymore doesn’t mean I stop gardening. I’m so glad we found each other, Gerard. And I think we both have grown a lot since those novice days 😀
Oh I know you’ll keep gardening!
Yes, “back in the day” when we were newbies…..
Sounds greet! I will continue to look here for Fiesta Friday!
Why not join us @FiestaFriday.net? It’s a lot more fun over there! 😄
I will!
