Howdy. I was going to say Hello but decided howdy was more in line with the whole “saddle up” theme from my last post. Greetings from this new platform. Most (maybe all) of you who are reading this have been reading this blog on my previous site. But just in case, let me say a few things as an introduction of sorts. Tall Tales from Kansas began in April of 2011 with the encouragement of Sister. “Of course you should do a blog“, I still recall her saying “if Brother (not our real brother, our pretend brother) can do it YOU can“. Over the course of almost 14 years I sent 3845 posts into the world, random topics, everyday parts of my life.
Unfortunately, the service at Typepad was always a bit on the dodgy side, and in the last several years it was downright annoying. At the beginning of September they announced they were shutting things down. No surprise really, I think there were a couple of chipmunks manning the controls and they were mostly on a break when they weren’t playing pranks. Truth be told, the shutdown was just what I needed to move on. Should I just quit? Continue on another site? Would I miss it? Would I miss you all? Finally I decided why not check out another site and “just try”.
I did not give much thought to moving all the content I had created over the years with me. I am in the cleaning out phase of my life and the potential difficulties that could be encountered just seemed like too much effort. That was then, this is now. It’s not like I regularly go back and look at old posts.
Just getting oriented to a new system would be plenty enough for me. So here I am, figuring things out, hoping it will all work, thinking about things I want to tell you about…. yada yada yada.
Thanks to all of you who reached out and encouraged me to continue. I look forward to our ongoing conversations. Over the years several of you have asked about subscribing which you can do on WordPress. So here we go. Carrying on. Walking through the world and making the best of things no matter the circumstances, supporting each other, reminding ourselves about what matters most.
