I don’t even know where to begin. Maybe “hello” would be a good place to start. “Welcome”, too.
I have not written a blog post since 28 December 2010. Do you even understand how long that is? I have missed this like crazy. You have no idea.
If you’re new to the world of Rachel and her blogs, let me fill you in. I’ve had a few personal sites, of which this is the latest. So, if you’re confused and looking for a post dated 28 December, don’t worry, you’re not going crazy. That post was over at the now-expired Rachelisms.net. I’m here now, and you’re safe. 
Let’s pretend now that you’re less new and remember the fact that my old websites all had visitor content. Where is that, you ask? Well, the last time I updated the visitor content on Rachelisms was in August of 2010. I know. Bad. That’s why I have decided to stick to blogging over here. Blogging is all I really missed, anyway.
I’m really ambitious about sticking with this site. It cost enough, hah. But, in all seriousness, I’m really hoping to find the time in my life to blog consistently, like I used to.
I hope you will also find the time in your life to read my posts, if you are so inclined.
Speaking of your personal inclination, you might like to read my new about me page, or perhaps my updated about the website page. Your choice.
I’ll leave you with that for today. Short and sweet, hm?
Hello!
HI. I mean, I’m so cool I’m reading this before your other pages. This layout is sick. 
I missed your blogs too, possibly more than you missed blogging?
Bolor, dude. I’m glad you’re back though, and with this lovely new domain as well. 
Yaaaaay. I wonder who would actually bother looking for the post (well, I wouldn’t, but I know where it actually is… *shifty*).
If I ever only have a blog, well, I don’t know. But I’d miss blogging the most out of everything else, and I sort of realised that when I blogged lamely this entire month. o_O
You will keep this domain consistently! Otherwise, you know, I can just do nasty things since it’s still sitting in my Namecheap account. BWAHAHA. BOLOR.
<3
Haha yeah dude, I was like “who is going to actually look for the post…?” But I thought it was a fun thing to say.
I actually went like months without reading your blogs for some reason, and I missed them too. I’m really glad to hear you missed mine. I can’t wait to get back into it.
NO, DON’T HURT THE DOMAIN. T_T Bolor, dude.
Well I’m fairly new to your work, but it’s always good to see someone geared up for blogging! Ha, what a nerd I am. x)
You’re back, Rachel! You’re back! I really hope that you stick around, because I remember that your posts (and website designs) were both very good.
I am, Stephanie! I am! Aww, thank you.
Asdfghjkl this layout is the freaking bomb. I loaded the page and was like… totally… you know, damn impressed, basically. A7X… HU… awesome. I haven’t listened to Sick Puppies much though to be totally honest. :x
IT’S GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK. *hug* And don’t worry… I have a vague idea. I’ve been gone for a month or so and I’m nuts already. ;w; Weird how webdesign and blogging are things you always come back to.
Yeah, I’ll probably get rid of my visitor content. Hard enough to keep on top of everything else, let alone that as well. We shall see!
I’m glad you have returned.
Take care! xx
Thank you!! I can’t wait to see your site back up.
Welcome back!
For some reason, I don’t think I really visited your old site? Which is weird :X but congratulations on opening this one; it looks awesome!!
Good luck with sticking to it! I hope you’re able to!
Thank you! And haha, I think that’s because I never really visited your site much either. I don’t know why!
Hey Rachel, I will def. put up the old layout so you can see it, I loved it =D Im almost done with the new one, just caught up with few things before I finish it. And I know how hardddd it is to get that flat tummy! I DID GET TOIT but then slacked and it started to grow LOL But you really do have to work your butt off! Tell me about it…what I would suggest is drink lots of green tea and start off doing some crunches and increase them daily =) I will start that routine again and it really did work for me! Those ab rollers r great too! And oh yes real glad your back to blogging =D it is real fun YAY!
And here I thought I haven’t blogged in a long time
Welcome back, and hello sexy new .nu domain! Looking forward to reading your blog again 
I remember you! At least I think I do. Anyways welcome back! I really do like yourname.nu domains, or rather .me in my case. I’d love a sanghee.me in the future.
I think that in the end I’ll probably just end up only blogging. I’d be too lazy to update any visitor content. I only had a few crappy themes that I never touched after the first and second update. Haha.
Don’t worry about it. That should be the way I should be thinking anyway, at least I get to go. I heard that jetlag lasts up until a week. Even if you stay up on the plane your body doesn’t adjust that quickly.
It’s crazy how long you’ve been gone! I actually went on your website last week (or the week before — I don’t remember) to see if you updated, but you hadn’t. It’s awesome that you ended up getting the “dream domain” you’ve always wanted. I’ve been eying a .nu myself since there’s a lot of names available for it but that price tag is too steep for me I think. Plus I don’t think iTurtle would sound decent on a .nu.
My name is taken as well so fail that plan.
Anyways, I’m happy to see you’re back! It’s always nice to see bloggers return after a long hiatus.
Welcome back to the blogging world! I do remember you.
I have this strange love for name.nu domains. I love the way they sound.
This layout is amazing. Those photos are amazing. What kind of camera did you take them with? They’re so clear! And the quote, yeah, it made my day.
Thank you! I just used a simple digital point-and-shoot camera; a Canon Powershot SD1300, to be exact. I just happened to be in or near the front row at all those shows, which is why they look so good. Plus they’re not as clear when you look at them bigger. Well, the Emma photo is damn clear, but the rest aren’t as good.
ohhh im new to your blog. and thanks for the sweet comment :]
anyway, i’m looking forward to more post from you :}
-abby
Well hello. Lets just say that I haven’t been the perfect blogger either. Seems like I write a blog once a month or so.. I try to do better in the future
Time just goes by and… I forget to write.
Hey Rachel! I’m glad you are back and excited about being back! Now that I have an RSS reader on my phone I’m sure to keep up with your blogs, haha. Hope you’re having a good summer!
Thank you! Are you not blogging anymore?
Ooh whoops I am still blogging, though way more infrequently than I’d like; I just forgot to fill out the link part of the commenting.
Welcome back to the blogging world Rachel! I just returned a few weeks ago as well. But six months is nothing, I went about 13 or 14.
Yeah, visitor content is really dying down now-a-days. It’s kind of annoying how you can never find a single tutorial on something you really need and you knew a website that used to have it, etc, but I perfectly understand why people stop offering it and just sticking to blogging. I’ve been there.
I wish you all the best luck with your return!
Thanks for the excellent post
