RANDOM JOTTINGS

A blog about music, sports, theatre and rants

Long time blogger just moved to wordpress. Love music, theatre, movies, sport (tennis and cricket) and cooking. Two great daughters, two great granddaughters.

Blog move

I have been with typepad since I started my blog nearly twenty years ago now. I have just been informed that it is now closing and after the end of September it will vanish and I will have no access to anything I have written.

Part of me thought I would close down as I know I am intermittant in my posting these days but I do wish to hold onto everything I have written and discussed since 2006. I can have it turned into a book etc but it will be wildly bulky and expensive.

I am therefore setting up on WordPress and am in the process of entering into a contract with them.  I have to set it all up and then export Random to them. I am hoping to retain the name.

So over the next few weeks I will be dealing with this. Luckily I have a computer expert friend who is going to help me sort it all out and with a bit of luck I will be up and running in the next few weeks.

I would be delighted, pleased and thankful if you will remain with me and I will post updates etc on Random on Typepad for the next few weeks.

    Just seeing you have a new spot. Happy to follow along – I’m glad you didn’t shut it all down.

    I’ve always enjoyed checking in on the books you’re reading and what’s going on in your life.

    These things are so confusing! I made the jump from blogger to wordpress years ago, and it took some getting used to, but now all is well :)

    I agree with everyone above. I hope you continue to post. I’m not much of a social media fan but do enjoy reading blogs and have followed yours for a long time. I would miss you if you weren’t here!

    Oh lordy, what a challenge. Of COURSE you want to keep it all.
    I hope you’ll be able to let us know where you end up, even if you have to send us a message in a bottle.
    Keep the faith.
