So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehn, Good Night

I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie....

but before I go, I'd like to say a few words about Blogger.

Ahem.

I have to give it to them, the people who created Blogger were early to the game. For years they've offered people a fairly easy way to get up and running with a blog, and they've offered it for free. I myself have been with them since 2004, when a techie at my web host recommended it and set me up. He did all of the template selection and ftp-ing (whatever that is--something to do with hosting it at my website). Blogger has some very nice features and has met my needs since 2004.

But I think it is for more technically minded people than I. Now the NEW Blogger is supposed to simplify some of the technical mumbo-jumbo I've had to sift through just to put something on my sidebar. But I've read lackluster reviews of the NEW Blogger and decided to just try something new.

I've talked about taking risks, so I just decided to go for it.

I'm starting the year with a new blog.

I was planning to name it something clever, but the more I monkeyed around with it, the more I realized it was turning out more like a personal website. So instead of naming it something memorable, I just left it in my name. My new blog is the "home" page.

Without further ado, I bid you adieu here at Blogger (thank you, Blogger-folks--it was a good run)...

and invite you to my new blog hosted at WordPress (not perfect, but definitely easier):

www.annkroeker.com


Simple as that.

Pay me a visit, if you will. See what you think. Let me know.


And if it doesn't work out, I can always come crawling back here and switch over. I'm not above that.
