I'm
working on a "change of venue". That's one of those writes euphemisms for; I'm starting up a fresh blog. I came to thinking I needed something that was more fitting to how I'm going these days and what I'm about...
Onliest trouble is__As seldom as I set such things up, getting it done is a piece of work. There's a fancy bit of elektawnic dancing that has to be done... and nobody, especially the ones who created the system have a real working idea of how to go about it.
When you factor in all the eggheads
sitting behind the keyboards for the big outfits running this show__(The internet) it gets danged messy. They repeatedly "Improve"
things (That is - mostly fix what ain't broke just so they've something to do). The result is, it takes twice as much work and a week of blue smoke, bad names and dirty
words to sort through the "Improvement"... and generally the beer
brewers sales improve as a consequence... I needed an excuse... Right?
Been trying - and failing - to get a Fresh Blog linked to my
RV Website... they've made it so hair pulling convoluted, and I've no
hair left to pull... that I'm questioning the value of goin' through their exercise.
The hoops to jump through are way to disjointedly explained, with far too many "mights" and "sometimes" and "Ifs" used in relation to their directions. That gives them an 'Out' when it doesn't work and nobody knows why... (which is from my perusal of the forums where folks are struggling for help with the "new" and "improved" and "Easy" system...
The likelihood is I'll abandon that lil' enterprise and just go a different way with it.
Not a bad thing... it'd fit into the simplification I'm truly trailing just now. Much of the "Internet" has lost a lot of its shine for this old buster.
That said A Fine Horse in New Country
will be taking over as my "Main" blog in the very near future...
there's little to read there just now... only a paragraph or so and some
page headers for pages I have yet to build... all just to give me
something to post as an initial test and to lay the foundations for me to tinker with.
Soooo... I'd
appreciate it, if you want to keep on trailing along, if you went there and "Followed" me again. The gadget to do that is right there on
the right hand side... 'Course as always, you can just bookmark it too.
I've got all sorts of doodles and ideas I want to work on (and write about) in the future so might could be the 'Semi-sabbatical" I've been on for a while is winding down. We shall see.
This blog will remain... I'll write a "Link" post
here when I make the final move (and this blog will remain (along with my very first blog) as an
"Archive" and a way for people to find where I went!
Many Thanks
Brian

I don't much care for following things on +google with all their tracking and spying activity but I did add you to my "Feedly" feed.
I have been publishing with blogger for nine years now with seldom a real trouble. Google+ is not my friend.
Just skimming by (you know like one of those bugs you see on top of the pond) and caught the blog mostly cuz of the boondocking stuff. Like the folks comments above me, not a big Google fan, but they're all meddling, thieving, bastards in my Rolodex. Tiz the way of the world in capitalism land. Guess it could be worse. Imagine if the NSA ruled the web. It would be like living in China (ponders if a difference really exists here). Anyways, Love the content. Blog on, I say, and give us folks who run off the Google interstate real content to live and grow rich by (and in grow rich I mean as in a personal mindful way not year over year profits kind of thing - just in case the Rolodex crowd is data mining :).
