Secretly I felt part of that decision in a, Don't You Tell Me What To DO, kind of way, even though I never received the official email from blogger telling me to clean up my act or face DELETION.
Logan's Run comes to mind where my 30 year old blog goes to Carousel to be renewed, floating up in the air and then exploding. The new blog has allure. Even though the graphics and colors are more vivid over at WP, I'm experiencing separation anxiety. I've abandoned my puppy to the blog city pound.
"So how long do you keep my blog before you put it down?"
"We make that decision as soon as you leave."
"So you're telling me that you're going to put my blog down as soon as I walk out the door?"
"We make that decision as soon as you leave."
Late last night I revisited the old blog one more time. "It's not such a bad little blog after all," as I gave the place the once over. Maybe a little sprucing up here and there, a little tweakin', and the black background goes away the text is now easier own my eyes. Maybe I'll keep it. I tweak and tweak and then pass out well after midnight. Then I receive an email this morning from Mistress MJ;
"Hello my lovely,
Over at your old Blogspot blog, you put a link to your new Wordpress blog but you put it in the comments box.
Be sure to make a new post on the old blog telling everyone where to find your new blog. I think that there are a number of people who don't know you've moved.
Cheers,
Mistress MJ"
The Clash popped into my head and I've been singing it all morning. I'm leaning toward staying but keeping my new puppy over at WordPress as an escape hatch, not that I don't think Yahoo won't pull the same porn trick one day, but also as a warning to Blogger that they don't scare me. I know how to write code, I'll self host and run my own, Pornarium, BITCHES!
