This is a very basic blog - no ads (I hope). If you see ads, they are not there because I requested them! I'm sure there will be changes along the way. Please be patient while I re-learn Blogger. As always, if you see anything terribly wrong or that just needs improvement, please let me know.
For now, I have set all comments to be held for approval. The old blog was being overrun by spam comments. We'll see how this one goes and I may turn off the moderation but please know it isn't because of something YOU did.
The best news is that I think there's a place to sign up to get an email when I post. It may take a while to get that figured out too. Again . . patience, please.
I will try to post at least once a day. Everything will pretty much be the same as before. Patchwork Times will remain in its current location with all the posts until the hosting I have paid for runs out . . sometimes in the Spring of 2026 I think. So, if there's anything you want from there, please find it and save it.
I started out with Blogger in 2004 as Sunshine Quilts. I had that blog from 2004 - 2007, then switched to another blogger account for probably another four years, then to Patchwork Times in about 2012 (I think). Blogger is more basic and something I can hopefully deal with and "fix" by myself. We shall see.
Anyway, it's good to feel like I have a new home and maybe things will get back to normal with everyone finding me and finding something to enjoy here.
Thank you all so much for being a huge part of my life!
I found you quite easily! I too recently went back to Blogger. I felt I didn't need to pay Wordpress to host my journal. I really want my Restoration Cowboy Style blog to stay on the internet so I can search it but once I stop paying, the blog disappears. It's too large a data file to move to Blogger I think. I have until sometime in January to come up with a solution.
ReplyDeleteThank you for finding me. Yes, I knew you had moved and that's one of the things that made me think to come back to Blogger. Not only was I paying to host PWT but had started having problem after problem. It wasn't with the hosting company but other issues and every time I tried to fix something there, I messed up something else. At least Blogger is more on my level! :)
ReplyDeleteI also would like to save some of PWT but it probably isn't worth my time so I doubt I'll mess with it. Good luck if you decide to do it. Hopefully it won't be too frustrating.

ReplyDeleteHi Judy, I put your new blog address in my Feedly and will review the old blog to save some things (it is SUCH a wealth of information!) I've been following you for so long, I'm very happy that you've found a new home and can continue blogging more easily - fingers crossed. Thanks for being here for us!
ReplyDeleteSimplifying your blog should help with the frustration of all those spam comments. I've had to leave moderation on to filter those out. But it's very sporadic - some weeks there are no spam comments, and other weeks I end up with just a few but they are easily deleted.
ReplyDeleteI'm here! I rarely comment, but have followed your blog since you moved to Texas!
ReplyDeleteI was able to add this new blog to my RSS reader, Feedly. AND, your old blog has been saved by the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. You can find posts from February 18, 2007 through August 15, 2005.
