Well... it's decision-time. My 30-day trial period is almost up and it's time to decide what to do with this blog. It's been fun... and much easier than I thought it would be. As a technically-challenged blog newbie, I've found Radio UserLand and Salon Blogs to be very user-friendly. There are only 2 things that really annoyed me. One is that I couldn't post any comments to other Salon blogs without getting that darn "403 Access Forbidden" error message. The second is the upstreaming/publishing delay. Many times, I'd post something and it wouldn't show up on the public home page until several hours later. (Guess I'm an instant gratification kind of gal.) Are these annoyances something I can live with beyond this trial period? Maybe. I'm not sure.
At the time I started my 30-day trial here, I also started a blog at another community... just to test out a different blogging platform. I quickly discovered that I've wandered into... let's call it a more "conservative" community. (You wouldn't believe the level of GWB support there!) It has made me really, really appreciate the Salon community. Without doubt, discovering Salon bloggers has been the best part of this experience... and whatever happens with this blog, I'll definitely be back to visit.
Wishing you a happy holiday and a new year of peace, hope and love.
During this Christmas season,
May you be blessed
With the spirit of the season,
which is peace,
The gladness of the season,
which is hope,
And the heart of the season,
which is love
