Decisions, Decisions


I am still mulling over what to do with the blog.

FYI-one can not block a commenter on a blog like is possible on other platforms.  The only safeguard is to moderate comments but then, the blog owner has to see horrible and/or unsuitable comments before sending them to the spam folder.  And that's not something I want to see any longer.  It's bad for one's mental health.

I could make the blog private, by invitation only.  In that way only invited persons can see the blog and possibly comment on it.

I prefer to be transparent so this choice rubs me the wrong way, but if push comes to shove I may need to go that route.

My only other choice is to move the blog to another platform(which I don't want to do as I feel we have a supportive little online community here-let me know if I'm wrong on that score)or shut it down.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?  Is my content still relevant to anyone?  I know my heart hasn't been in this venture much since relocating to this state and all the turmoil we've suffered since the move and being basically physically alone and far from any family or friends who care about us.  

I am hoping I'll find my MoJo and enjoy doing this again at some point....mostly probably after we resettle in another area not so foreign and hostile with too many bad memories tied to it.

I've had this blog since January 2009(and another blog briefly before that).  I must say it's a hard habit to give up.
