Today I got word that my previous blog site was being taken down. No reason was given, just a terse announcement. This is hardly a life-changing event, but it is somewhat disconcerting. I had spent a fair amount of time placing my blog in the first place, and much more time drafting, editing, and publishing blog entries. These blogs led directly to the publication of two books, and some thoughtful exchanges with people I knew before and people I met online only because of the blog. Not being able to continue to publish my blog would have been inconvenient and disappointing.
Fortunately there are many other sites out there that host blogs, and after some minimal research I have chosen this one. It feels a little incestuous, since I also maintain an email account and some cloud storage with the company that runs it. The main reason I am migrating here is that it was a seamless transition, and that I didn't have to do any exotic formatting.
So while this blog is much shorter than my usual, it is all that I need to say at this point. I will, as usual, announce any new blog entries on Facebook and Twitter, and there will certainly be some in the fairly near future. We're going to NYC later this week, where we will see a couple of Broadway musicals and I'll appear on an NPR quiz show. Tomorrow is oral argument in the Illinois Supreme Court in the pension theft case, and a decision is expected by this summer. We are scheduled for trips to Oregon in July and Phoenix in October. I'll be in a production of Our American Cousin, the play Lincoln was watching when he was assassinated, in April There will be lots of things to blog about.
Stay tuned; it could be a wild ride.
Good luck on your blog, David. At least I can find it with a Google search (well, and on Facebook); my blogs on this service seem invisible.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested in your experience with OUR AMERICAN COUSIN, which I'd think had a lot more superstitions attached to it than MACBETH.
