This Blog
It might surprise you (if there still is a you) that this blog isn't dead. Yes, I know this is the first new post in two months, but during this time, there's been some behind-the-scenes restructuring going on.
Bit by bit, I've been importing entries from all my old blogs so that I can keep things together. I hadn't realized until recently how much blogging I've been doing since I started at the very end of 2003. Right now the published count is 501, and I've probably got at least that many still to deal with, but there could be considerably more. After the Great Blog Fiasco of '06, I made my two LiveJournal blogs private and downloaded this blog into a single HTML file before deleting all the entries (should have just unpublished them--now I know). So, I have entries everywhere. What a mess!
Why am I even bothering?
I think it's the archivist in me. And because from time to time I go back to entries to try to figure out what I was doing when or get other bits of information that has been misfiled in my brain, because ultimately blogs do act as online diaries and I'd like that all in one spot. (After this is my photo library which is a total mess. We won't even talk about that right now.)
Unfortunately, I'm losing your old comments when I bring in posts. I'm sorry for that because your comments really are part of the entries. I don't think there's any way I can get around that though.
Meanwhile, if you do happen to stop by and read this, could you put a note in the comments so I can tell if there is anyone at all who is still reading my blog?

Still here.
I have you on my google reader :-)
Yep, me too. :-)
Yes, darlin'. I are still reading your blog. This from a blogger who hasn't posted since July 20th. I'm suffering from Temporary Hiatus Syndrome. Yeah. THS. I'll be back shortly. :-D Hope you're still reading me when I get there.
Don't comment, but still dropping by.
Thanks, all, for checking in.
I'm still here, El Guapo!!
BTW, "Great Blog Fiasco of '06"? What was that?
Lisa--I think I'm going to blog about the GBF of '06 . . . It's a cautionary tale in more ways than one.
you know I'm still here, just behind...and I always read in my feed so I'm sadly less likely to comment nowadays...
Mel--I don't comment as much these days either. It's partly the RSS feeds, but I think also Twitter and FB have contributed to a decline in blogging and blog communities.
