Today is a brand new start...at least when it comes to the blog.
After 11 years on WordPress, today I deleted that blog. Yep, Obsolete Childhood is no more.
Oh, I did download all my posts, comments etc.....and I did download every single picture.
But, the blog has been deleted.
Why you may ask, did I stay for eleven years and through many changes only to leave it all today? The people mostly. Other bloggers. The feeling of family we have between us.
But even a feeling of "these guys are family, even annoying uncle Bob is here" wasn't enough to overcome the final straw.
WP changed the editor..the very way I post my blatherings, rants, successes and bad (really bad) poetry. They "upgraded" the editor..thus making it impossible to understand or use.
Not only did they change it, but they seemed rather proud of themselves for making so very many bloggers miserable trying to understand the blasted thing, AND they were CONDESCENDING ABOUT IT".
And, that my friends, is NOT the way to act towards a rather grumpy, and definitely snarky old lady.
So, I am once again back on Blogger...and the blog name has been resurrected...obsolete childhood has risen once again..and the editor is pretty much the same as it was when I left almost twelve years ago.
Now, if Blogger only had a community page where other bloggers could share posts and advice, it would be just about the perfect blog platform.
One can only hope (and send multiple requests) that this will come about.
Blogger has recently made changes to their editor too and at least for me it didn't work at first. But their changes were not as big as the ones on WP. Glad you are still blogging 🙋♀️🐝
ReplyDeleteHi Bee, glad to see you here. I actually like the few changes I have seen in the Blogger editor. It seems easier to me to write and publish now. I really miss everyone over at WP but was so annoyed at my inability to use the blockhead editor it was actually a relief to come home to Blogger.
