### The Client
|
|
|
|
Cassy Fiano (now Cassy Chesser) began blogging back in 2007 on Blogger. She worked hard to network with other bloggers, wrote prolifically, and gained a large audience with her coverage of life issues and of Sarah Palin as the first female Republican vice-presidential nominee.
|
|
|
|
### The Problem
|
|
|
|
With her success, Cassy was quickly outgrowing Blogger. She was interested in moving to a different platform; specifically, Movable Type, as she had some authoring experience with that platform.
|
|
|
|
### The Solution
|
|
|
|
We migrated her content to a WordPress site, and customized a theme to look very similar to her Blogger theme (which she liked). We maintained the site, and began hosting it a few years later.
|
|
|
|
### The Epilogue
|
|
|
|
Cassy formally decommissioned this site in early 2014.

|

|
|
Initially, we assisted her with finding a theme, and customized it. We also modified her old Blogger template to send redirect users to her new blog after displaying a note that the blog had moved. A few years later, we developed an advertising banner to generate income from her writing.
|
|
|
|
In July 2012, we began hosting the site, as we were already hosting her military wife blog <nuxt-link to="/solutions/hard-corps-wife" title="Hard Corps Wife • Bit Badger Solutions">Hard Corps Wife</nuxt-link>. When the time came to decommission the site, we backed up the data and ensured she had it.
