While I am not closing my blog or site yet, it is in the works.
When my domain expires in December, I will not be renewing it. As my domains are expiring, I am not renewing them. One does not expire until 2013, and my hosting on that account is free, so I guess I can’t really complain, but I will not be updating the site any longer. The three blogs that I have will be exported and imported into one blog, and that is where I will be updating from now on.
I will be writing to the host of this site, since it is one of those hosts that gets all bent out of shape when you don’t pay for it. My friend Josh has offered to renew my domain name for as long as I want. I am planning for the worst starting tomorrow, but hoping for the best. I’m uncertain whether or not I will password protect my old entries. When Vox.com went belly up, I imported them to my other site, and they’re password protected. But what to do? It’s a very easy step to make these days, since all three of my blogs are powered by WordPress, and importing and exporting is just a matter of a few clicks of the mouse.
I have deleted some entries here, but there are many entries that I wish to stay. There are many entries that I wish to keep in the public eye, and many that I wish I could make private, as to not bring drama over to my other site. Why not delete these entries all together? Simple. They are part of my life, part of my past. To delete them would be to delete my past. I can’t do that. I cannot bring myself to delete parts of my past, no matter how much they embarrass me or that I would like to forget them. I still have old diaries and journals from when I was ten years old which I still read. Diaries that tell of crushes on Wil Wheaton and what I thought of the Star Trek episode that week. It’s all a part of me, and what I have published on the web is no different.
I’ll work it out. I’ll think of something. I always do.
