I know they will be missed by their other friends. These are tough times, but be glad you had a savings from which to draw.
Children... a gift from God.
You didn't insult me. I just took note of what you said.
"hayseeds"?????? Is that a class label????
Ohhhhh... you like my boots. I'm so glad.
I'm guilty.
My Dad loved corned beef. When he had cancer and was dieing, the dietitian at the hospital told him not to eat the stuff because of his blood pressure and cholesterol. I happened to walk in on that discussion and pulled out that helpful health care person and explained to them that the man was dieing and to let him eat what he wanted to eat.
p.s. I love corned beef, too. By-the-way, is this what you call "substantial content?"
They now have colonography which is much less invasive.
Pay per post would seem to be self defeating. I think it might actually kill MyBloggers. Now, a monthly fee might be okay. On my example below, that was a monthly fee and I would have paid if I had enjoyed the experience and stayed. How much would you need to charge per month to put this blog back in the black?
Guess it just seems slow at times. That's what I get for spending half my nights on here.
Sorry to hear it is loosing money. I've thought it wasn't growing as it should. I noted the same faces every day and not many new bloggers. I also notice that there aren't a lot of blogs going up. Sometimes only 5 or 6 blogs all day long. You can see that I spend too much time on here since I have noticed all of those things.
It is a difficult decision for you. Personally, I hate pop up ad's. I remember when Blogster had them. They popped up right in the place I had to click to create a new post and I couldn't get around them or out of them. How frustrating. But, I hate the niche idea, too. Some of those categories would put me right out of the conversation and I think it would make it more boring. Example: I joined a Christian blog that only allowed discussion of Bible scripture and theology. No political stuff was allowed. No personal stuff, except for prayer requests. I stayed two weeks and was so bored, I left. But, if you go the niche route, I am a car enthusiast. I really think the niche concept, although the easiest, is too constricting.
I know this is a long comment. Sorry about that. You do have a big decision and I will be checking in to see what others say.
Happy at MyBloggers - Annie :o)
No sticks and stones from me and no reviling. I've just always been a friend and will continue to be your friend no matter what your beliefs. I hope it works both ways. Annie :o)
What an adventure. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I remember night of Tequila-n-dancing. I also remember the hangovers the next day.
