Changes. Everything always
changes.
I started blogging many years ago on some hard to use site. My blog’s name was Day Tripper. It was fitting as I had been a day tripper not
so many years before. I puttered my way
around the web until I found Open Diary.
What a comfortable place to stay, and there I was until it started
falling apart.
Falling apart wasn’t good, so I went out and started a new blog on Blogger
as a backup. By now I had made changes
myself and discovered I loved taking pictures.
I named the new blog http://urban-archology.blogspot.com/>Postcards. Short, sweet, mutterings illuminated by a
picture. At least, that’s how I thought
of it.
Back-ups are good. So I started a
backup blog on Wordpress as Postcards 2.
It was harder for me to use even with a template. As Open Diary began to slide downward, one
writer started Prosebox. I had to figure out new coding to use in my
template, but I moved over there as Postcards 4 after moving off Wordpress. It was a good backup to Blogger, and I found
most of my OD friends already there when OD signed off.
Prosebox worked well for five years.
It’s being shut down on the 15th of April. OD has just reinvented itself as a pay
site. Since I signed on as a paid member
“for life,” I hope I still am.
I’m headed off to work at an AA
convention, and I want to leave you my addresses before I leave. I’m not lost.
I’m not going away except for four days.
I don’t want to lose any of my friends.

ReplyDeleteWhy thank you. I will be here too. :)
DeleteHope the convention is a good one.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteSo many good and brilliant bloggers have fallen away over the years. I hope you will continue to share your some of your life, your pictures and your thoughts for long years to come. Enjoy your break!
ReplyDeleteI'm not leaving here. Just one other blog has quit, and that's really sad.
DeleteGlad you'll always be here... Huggers to you and G.
DeleteI just discovered I can comment here already! (being on Google). I hadn't a clue. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm just jazzed you are here. Yes, blogger is a part of Google. Now you know all the secrets of the universe, and the door is open.
ReplyDeleteTake care...we'll be here when you get back.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower, and you're right, artists never retire and things always change.
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip!
ReplyDeleteYou bet. Maybe I will have some new roses when I get home.
DeleteBusy lady! I'm going to get my hair cut tomorrow (today)--finally! I've been overdue for a cut for weeks but too sick to sit in a chair long enough to get it done. Still coughing and have a request in by my dr. for a pulmonary specialist. Cie la vie... it is what it is. She says I have beginning Emphysema/COPD. Inhalers work if I get enough of the drugs in my system -- that and a couple cups of good coffee. I can breathe for a few hours. By the end of the day I'm hitting the inhalers again. :/
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about the diagnosis. I only use the inhalers at night to get a cough free sleep. I'm still coughing from the flu two times ago. Just take care of yourself. we care.
DeleteYou've really been around the blogs. I started on Blogger and after experiments with Word Press, came back to it. I even used a Word Press template on my own internet site for awhile.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time away.
We sure will, thanks. :)
DeleteI started on Blogspot and haven't moved, but I do back up my blog up on Wordpress. I can't back up the comments though which I'm sad about.
ReplyDeleteYou can back your blog up on Word and this saves all the comments. :) If I need to, I copy and paste. Love your current header picture.
DeleteI too tried some other sites. Cowbird was a good one but it closed down. I was blogging BlogSpot but somehow I found it difficult to find the posts of other bloggers. I am enjoying WordPress. Regards.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your convention, Mage. I am happy you have kept both a journal and have been blogging. I tried it and wasn't regular enough. I think my life is made of of notes, letters and emails to friends. I think I'm not THAT interesting until people tell me to write a book. :) Geez...time passes.
