My time online has grown limited over the past six months and my focus is changing.
Ironically some of the bloggers I used to follow have also dropped by the wayside for whatever reason.
I'd tried to make some small adjustments here, but not enough. So time for some radical changes.
This blog is closing for one week. During that time I will redesign the sidebars and pages and prepare for the reopening. I will reschedule my posting to focus on some new areas. This should make my site more useful to others and more in tune with who I am now.
Promotions will still be a big part of this site. So will production. And speaking. But for now, Spunky the author is done.
So everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'll see you on the other side!
Diane - Have a blest holiday!
ReplyDeleteReally excited to see what directions you go. Best of everything.
One of my favorite things to do is redo my office. Or any other part of house, really.
ReplyDeleteSo, have fun and I look forward to the new look!
Have a super Thanksgiving. I'm closing shop for good. I think I've mentioned this to you a few times. :) Blogging takes way too much time and this is time I need to spend writing, editing, etc.
ReplyDeleteYou've got me intrigued! Can't wait to see what you've got in store :)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely interested in the changes happening . . .
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thanksgiving! :)
I'm curious as well!
ReplyDeleteHave a good Thanksgiving.
Curiosity killed the cat, so I'll just wait eagerly. Don't you just love the ability to change?
ReplyDeleteSee you on the flip side :)

Have a great holiday. I'm also curious about the changes. I'm also updating and looking into speaking at conferences. See you soon.
ReplyDeleteJ Kaye, I knew you were shutting down entirely. Seems lots of bloggers have shut down this past year.
ReplyDeleteHope the changes aren't too shocking!
Looking forward to seeing the new site!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thanksgiving. Can't wait to see what you do with your site. I'm sure it will be intriguing.

ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! I'm looking forward to seeing your new and improved blog next week.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanks giving to you and as you said see you on the other side.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well for you.
Yvonne.
I wish you the best with the changes! You need to be true to yourself and fit with who you are and your current goals, so I'm sure it will be great! See you on the other side!
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone! Hope I don't freak out any followers.
ReplyDeleteNo freak out here. I understand completely the need to revamp. Bottom line is, you offer a lot of good info. I've used your archives for research many a time because you provide links and explanations.
ReplyDeleteI know I've gotten so busy the last few months and haven't had the time to comment on all the wonderful blogs I love to read. Writing deadlines and editing have been taking up an enormous amount of time.
I'm looking forward to seeing your new look and subject format.
Meanwhile, have a great Thanksgiving too. We do have so much to be thankful for, don't we?
Hugs
Ok, Diane. Have a good thanksgiving and I'll forward to coming back and seeing how the blog is changed. It'll be cool to see the new focus.
ReplyDeleteJai
Oh, I have an award for you at my blog. Its not much as I have to work on my PhotoShop skills. But its the thought that counts.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sia! I hope to have those archives organized for you next week. Have a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stephen!
Wow, I need to close down more often...
I know what you mean about blogging taking up too much time. I'm cutting back to once a week tops. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously behind on my blogging too.
ReplyDeleteOh, the Kitty pictures; how did I miss them. My favorite though: Lets eat Grandma . ."
Have a wonderful holiday Diane. Can't wait to see you new DO :)
