Twelve days to go before AOL Journals shut down. Most people have found themselves a new blog, and have had their old one transferred. Those that haven't, and I'm one of them, are getting a tad nervous. My old blog, Northern Trip, is safely downloaded onto my PC, but comments are not shown. I dread the response in the coming weeks and months when people return from being away - and find themselves without a blog. Worse, having lost the memories of the past 5 years.
I've posted a huge list of blogs on Magic Smoke, and hope to add to it as comments come in. I can no longer be bothered to trace old URLs, partly because many have been deleted already. Northern Trip will remain on AOL until they pull the plug.
Thank you so very much for all the hard work you are doing trying to save journals and trying to keep up with us all.
ReplyDeleteyou are such an angel for doing what you do to help others. i worried too, about those who may not know about the journals, even though that does sound impossible, it could happen. and there are many who do not have a clue as to how to work a computer, but love to blog. i hope everyone is able to save their journals even if they don't open one up on another blog site.
ReplyDeletekeep up the great work, guido, it is really appreciated.
blessings,

Guido, isn't there a magic smoke on blogger? I thought I had seen the link or been there. If there is, would you please post the link again for us.
ReplyDeleteI'm also letting AOL pull the plug on mine. I can't bring myself to delete.
I believe I will be deleting my AOL journal soon. I've made a few attempts to delete it but haven't been able to do it - isn't that silly. I hope you get all of your bugs worked out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all you do Guido... I'm feeling like a lemming and to say disappointed is an understatement.. not so much because of my journal but the fact that they won't be honest about it.
