For me the biggest problems were all the related issues--notifying people of my new e-mail, resubmitting my blog to directories, etc. The biggest headache was a domain transfer issue, which had nothing to do with WP.

Never paid much attention to the Prime program, but it sounds like a winner. Thanks for the tip. Hi Olivia, Ten years–you are an Amazon pioneer!

In addition, if you sign up for Amazon Prime, which is $79/year, you can order products without any shipping charge and in most states (unless you live in Washington as I do) without sales tax. Over a year it adds up, especially if you buy more than books. I buy books, but also pretty much everything else---including kitchen implements, food, electronics, and more. Some items do not qualify for Arizona Prime, but I rarely order those (as I don't like to pay for shipping) unless they are a used item and worth a small shipping charge. Once I got an item that was not what it was supposed to be, and Amazon refunded the money to me immediately. I have been ordering from Amazon for 10 years, and am one of those people that always goes to Amazon first. Yes, this is so true, Brad.
