Ta-Ta You Old Thing

My very first blog, Mrs. Hull's Musings, is officially on life support.  And, I'm about to pull the plug.  I just never could really regularly blog there.  I felt like I needed some blogging affirmation in the form of a follower's box, which I didn't know how to secure with my wordpress template.

It was a pretty blog.  I remember sitting with my husband designing it one day.  It was useful in helping me put my thoughts out there, but I think my only subscriber was Mr. Hull.  So, one day not too long ago, I jumped into blogger and I love it.  My hosting expires on Mrs. Hull's Musings on April 1.  I'm not going to renew it.

At first, I was sad to see those posts go.  I was going to take screenshots of every single page.  I think I've come to accept it a bit better now, though.  I am going to copy/paste all my posts into a word document, just so I have it for future prosperity.  However, I am no longer mourning the demise of my first blog.  I guess that's a good thing.  It doesn't mean I loved it any less, does it?

So, how about you?  Have you abandoned a blog before?  Did you do so reluctantly, or with excitement for what was around the bend?  Did you somehow save your stuff before you chucked the old site over the edge?
