New Blog? Yep. Here's Why:

Welcome to my new blog! I was talking to my sister about my old blog, and though my plan that I discussed with her was to do this around when I get married in September, I am impatient and did it now. So what did I do? I created a new google email address and a new blog. I also took my Oregon State Blog and fiddled around with the settings to get it attached to my gmail account as well, though it took some work to figure out what exactly to do as it was not as simple as adding an email-- I had to change google accounts to do it.

So yes, this means I have a new email. Email my old email to get it, and I'll send it to you; I don't want to post it online because I'm trying to avoid at least some of the spam I am bound to receive. This also means that thewonderboy.com will sadly no longer exist. I didn't really want to finally do this, but I realized several things:

• Yahoo! and Geocities (the hosts of my website) have been absolutely horrendous lately in their reliability in updating both the website and the blog. I have not been able to log in to my blog on multiple occasions.
• The blog I had before was not user friendly-- I could not include pictures except for one on top of the post, and links to another website had to be posted in full, not like I have in the above link to my sports blog. There were other lesser-but-still-annoying problems with the blog.
  
• Ever since I got the actual blog, I have mostly stopped using my website except as a link to other things. Considering I can have links in this blog, $8.95 a month is a bit much for a website I never update.

So comparing those three points versus having to change emails, I decided it was well worth it. I will keep the old email and website for a short while to transition things, but it will go away soon. Also, the difficulties I had with my Yahoo! blog kept me from posting nearly as often as I would have otherwise... so Alysa, you can start checking my blog more than once every three weeks. Or at least when you do check, it will be updated more often anyways!
