GETTING MY BLOGS ORGANIZED AND IN ORDER

How many of our blogs will be saved, spared the ax, and able to continue?
PERHAPS YOU ARE ONE OF THE MANY NOW FIGURING OUT WHERE TO POST YOUR BLOGS NOW THAT AOL IS CLOSING ITS JOURNALS FEATURE.

THE BLOG METERS IN THE PHOTO AT THE TOP ARE QUIET, BUT THEY WILL BE SPINNING ONCE AGAIN, POWERED BY A VARIETY OF WELCOME HOSTS...WE CANNOT LET OUR FAMILY BLOGS WITH PHOTOS (SECOND FROM TOP) DRIFT OFF IN OBSCURITY FOREVER GONE,
NO LONGER ABLE TO BRING SMILES TO THOSE PICURED


Once filled with happy bloggers, blogging away, keeping busy and gaining intelligence with each passing hour, the tables are empty temporarily as the bloggers seek solution to their blogging problems.

FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, I WAS AN AVID BLOGGER. I HAD MORE THAN 100 blogs scattered about on the AOL journal circuit.

When I received the news that they were discontinuing their journals, I knew it would be my end of blogging about every subject that came to mind. That's okay, I have found FLICKR is very blog friendly and offers blogging features that are outstanding. Right now, rather than transferring all of my blogs to another server or to this BLOGGER feature, I'm in the process of saving the best of each one; I'm collecting the bits and pieces and will publish them in a new blogspot type of BLOG. I am working on a unique format at the present time, picking and selecting the best bits of knowledge and links, the best images permitted to be published, etc. This is not an easy task. I am certain there are others who share my concern for the disappearance of blogs that once had potential, blogs that were gaining momentum and more viewers with each passing day. Please keep in touch so I might pass on whatever saving techniques I have created for saving the best of these AOL journals and blogs.

BLOGABOUTBYGONEBLOGS might be an appropriate name for a collection of these soon-to-be-defunct online journals and blogs on AOL.

About Me

My photo
My dad's dad, my grandfather, was nine years old when President Lincoln died from an assassin's bullet. Most people think I am speaking of my GREAT GRANDFATHER. NO, I am referring to my dad's father, my paternal Grandfather, Robert Levi Huffstutter, born in 1856. What does this information have to do with my profile? It might help the reader understand that I have a sense of being much older than I am in that only one generation seperates me from President Lincoln. This causes me to respond differently to society and many current events. In many respects, this is to my benefit, in other respects it dates my mindset. Perhaps this is the reason I value the moral standards and idealogies of older Americans, the men who were the soldiers and sailors I saw when I was a small boy,the men and women who fought a war for freedom without any doubts posted by a media with a questionable lack of national unity and purpose.
