I need a new house

I can't keep living in this blogspot house. I've been here since 2005. I can't keep living here. renovations are possible, I've certainly considered them. frankly, I think it's a little punk rock to operate via blogspot in 2022. there's something openly defiant about it, which I love. but this house here, this blogspot house is a shell.

  1. I've also been in a blogspot house since 2005, most of that time worried google will lose interest the way it did with Reader etc etc. I don't quite understand why blogspot is still around, actually! I've been telling myself I should save my blog in some way, download it or whatever, but I keep not doing it. (blogspot is so clunky that it won't even let me make this comment while signed into the email I use for my blog, but keeps defaulting to my other email address...)

    1. yes, how *is* blogger still around? it's a mystery to me too. clunky is precisely the word-- (oy, the commenting, don't get me started). and now I can no longer insert flickr code for images I want to share here and that, I think, was the straw that broke the camel's back.

      re: archiving-- ten years ago, my husband tried to print out my entire blog for me as a surprise gift. he got about halfway through before he realized just how big a job it would be. so now somewhere in our house is a lovely binder with the first couple of years of posts, and of course I am so glad to *at least* have that but I would love to have it all in physical form! or at least saved, somehow. modern problems. (and first world, for sure).
