From AOL to Blogger

I am receiving a steady trickle of questions regarding the transfer of journals from AOL to Blogger. I shall publish a few links later in the week. I cannot do anything at this point, as I am not on my own PC and only have limited time.

Don't forget, we still have 3 weeks. For now, you should be reassured that a manual transcription of your old journal is probably not necessary.

I have ceased entries on Northern Trip. I am sad about that, but face it with an attitude of "onwards and upwards". That journal will be backed up to Blogger, to remain as an archive.

I can see a heap of work waiting for me when I return to Stornoway. Not just related to this transfer, it is also the research into 2,000 war dead whose names I've dug up here in Orkney.

Can I ask you all to mark October 14th as a date for remembrance? It will be 69 years ago that HMS Royal Oak was sunk in Scapa Flow, just south of Kirkwall, with the loss of more than 800 lives.

    Well I have already transcribed Pip;s journal to Blogger and have saved lots of my entries on Jottings into Word. We shall have to see what happens. I will try and remember that date Guido, perhaps if you are not too busy, you could remind us nearer the time.

    Well I did it and am not looking back. It is just a new path to follow so I went to blogger too.

    I will keep a note of Oct 14, Guido. Any clues as to why Kath, Jan and others received TOS messages on their blog?
