I would certainly miss you on LJ. I'd hope somebody with a paid account would set up an RSS feed for this blog so that I could still see a pointer to your posts on my friendspage. If that didn't happen I'd probably read the blog once a month or so and you would get little blorfs of commentary when that happened.
ReplyDeleteI dislike all blogging platforms about equally, but especially the ones using certain kinds of commenting software. Blogspot doesn't have that problem as far as I know.
P.
Dang. So LJ is the only place you read blogs? I don't understand how the RSS feed/paid account stuff works. But then, I don't know how 90% of the Interweb works. Well, we shall have to wait and see...still no response from LJ on the commenting issue. Sigh.
DeleteI have always preferred this blog to the LJ blog anyway. LJ seems to have lots of problems, not least of which is the stupid unable to comment problem of the last few days. That has happened to me before. Go back to this one. As for pameladean - it's not that hard to add something to your Favorites list for crying out loud. So, choose wisely grasshopper.
ReplyDeleteI vastly prefer this one, too. For one thing, no annoying ads!
DeleteOh, I forgot. I have a feeling that Truman might possibly eat his weight in roast chicken. I know I could - LOL!
ReplyDeletePoor Truman has bronchitis! He can't go to daycare until he is feeling better, probably another week or so. He is getting some chicken as a special "get well soon" treat.
DeletePoor baby. Give him a hug from me please. He is so sweet.
DeleteI'm pretty drifty in my old age. I totally forgot this blog existed. I do check LJ every day out of habit. To be honest, I'd probably forget to check your blog here unless you told me you posted something new.
