February 25th will be the one year anniversary of the start of Celebitchy. I know I’m not winning an Oscar, but I’d like to thank my husband for being more than supportive, you guys – the readers and commentors – for helping us grow, and everyone who ever linked us. Special thanks to The Bastardly for giving us links and thoughtful mentions in the first few months.

And I cannot thank our new writers: UrbanDK, Viv, Chic Mommy, White Trash Mom, and Lady Licorice, enough.

The site has been slow lately, and my webhosts tell me it’s time to move to another platform and that upgrades just won’t cut it anymore. Celebitchy is hosted on two dedicated servers, but WordPress is supposedly the problem. We started out with the blog software Movable Type, are now using WordPress, and hope to move to Drupal within the next few months. We’ve hired a developer and hope that the next transition will be painless and quick. The site should be better than ever, with comments back on the pages, once we’ve moved.

Also thanks to Photobucket for hosting our images and Choopa for hosting the site. We cannot recommend them enough.
