LilacRose v1.0: All Things Must Come to an End

All Things Must Come to an End

This blog has been on indefinite hiatus for about six months now. I think I will make it official and close LilacRose because I think it has run its course.

However, I am not going away...no you're stuck with me. You can find me on Twitter as LilacSusan. Some days I "tweet" a lot, other days I'm quiet. But that's where you will find me.

I'm not going to rule out starting another blog in the future. If I do, I may call it something else or I may just call it LilacRose 2.0. If I do blog again, I will probably do a fresh design or an update of a previous design. And I think I will use another platform. Movable Type seems too cumbersome anymore. It may be just this blog because it has many years of entries. But posting to and maintaining this blog has become too sluggish and a pain in the butt.

I will leave the archives up indefinitely and I may even open them up to search engines again. The comments are closed, so I don't have to worry about trolls and spammers anymore. If I start another blog, I'll post a link here, of course. Until then, you can find me on Twitter or in the comments on other blogs. I also have a neglected Live 365 station you can listen to and a neglected Tumblr as well. You can find the links on the sidebar.

In addition to Twitter, I will be lurking around The People's Cube. Unfortunately, it's banned at work, but I do like to lurk around there when home. It's a perfect satire site for Obama's America. Also, I would like to add that Little Green Footballs sucks. Any site that bans a long-time, mostly lurking member simply because she down-dings a post is a petty little cult.

That is all for now. I'll see you when I see you...

I've been using my blog differently too. Twitter for the quick-reaction you-should-read-this crap, and the blog for longer thinking pieces. Keep up the good work.

I'm very sorry to hear this, although of course you have to do what is best for you. I may have to think about joining Twitter. I haven't done it yet because my phone does not have internet access, and because Facebook keeps me plenty busy. Make sure you drop by my place every once in a while!

Hi Dan,

Thanks! I seem much better at quick, short reactions than longer thinking pieces lately. Or maybe I don't have the time or attention span. Anyway, Twitter (and maybe Tumblr) fits my needs better right now.

Hi Barb,

Go ahead and join Twitter! You can just lurk and follow a few people at first just to see what it's like. I created a Facebook page a few weeks ago because a relative that lives across the country invited me. I haven't done much with it because Facebook is blocked at work and I sort of forget about it when I'm home. My Facebook page is under my full name. When I'm home, I'll try to remember to send you an email with a link to it so you can add me as a friend if you'd like. Don't hesitate to email me in case I forget. I'm absentminded lately.

Barb,

I forgot to add something regarding Twitter. I access it via computer (laptop and desktop) and not with a mobile phone. While my cell phone does have Internet access and I could post to Twitter with my phone if I wanted, I have a dinky little phone and it would be a real pain in the butt to post from it. It would take forever. Maybe someday if I upgrade my cell phone to something more fancy, I'll get into texting, but for now...nah.
