LAST ENTRY in Postcards 4

Changes. Everything always changes.

I started blogging many years ago on some hard to use site. My blog’s name was Day Tripper. It was fitting as I had been a day tripper not so many years before. I puttered my way around the web until I found Open Diary. What a comfortable place to stay, and there I was until it started falling apart.

Falling apart wasn’t good, so I went out and started a new blog on Blogger as a backup. By now I had made changes myself and discovered I loved taking pictures. I named the new blog Postcards. Short, sweet, mutterings illuminated by a picture. At least, that’s how I thought of it.

Back-ups are good. So I started a backup blog on Wordpress as Postcards 2. It was harder for me to use even with a template. As Open Diary began to slide downward, one writer started Prosebox. I had to figure out new coding to use in my template, but I moved over there as Postcards 4 after moving off Wordpress. It was a good backup to Blogger, and I found most of my OD friends already there when OD signed off.

Prosebox worked well for five years. It’s being shut down on the 15th of April. OD has just reinvented itself as a pay site. Since I signed on as a paid member “for life,” I hope I still am.

I’m headed off to work at an AA convention, and I want to leave you my addresses before I leave. I’m not lost. I’m not going away except for four days. I don’t want to lose any of my friends.

I just discovered, quite by accident, that I already have a blog on blogspot. Since I have a Google + profile, that's probably why.

A few days later and things are looking more hopeful here. You couldn't lose us if you tried.

Mage - just wanted to let you know - I saw your note on Open Diary but I can’t reply over there as my free month has expired and I don’t want to give Bruce any money unless I really need to! I will still get notification if anyone leaves me a note but just can’t respond to them - in case you thought I was ignoring you!
