I have a question for you.
Would you be very, very, very upset if I made some major changes around here? If you’re reading this, it means you’ve noticed the recent changes. And to the long-time readers, these changes will look pretty familiar.
You might know of my other blog. I feel shameful mentioning her on Happy Little Lemon (hereby known as HLL) – I’ve always felt like having two blogs was dirty and wrong, like I was cheating on one with the other. I made Lemons and Flamingos (hereby known as L&F) because I was fed up with HLL and wanted something different. While it didn’t last, I haven’t forgotten how gorgeous that blog was, and how easy it was to post pictures. And amid all the crap I passed off as blog posts, they were a few okayish ones.
I can’t leave WordPress altogether without feeling awful. But I want to be able to give you a beautiful blog filled with pictures, and I know I’m not doing that right now.
A list.
The Debate: Moving Happy Little Lemon to Blogger, And Combining Her With Lemons and Flamingos
Pros
- Gorgeousness
- Ease of posting pictures
- Fellow Blogger users could follow my blog, thus encouraging me a bit more
- Maybe, if I get the design stuff sorted out, I’ll be able to stop blogging about my blog, and start blogging about real things
Cons
- WordPress is my home
- I’d lose all all 100+ comments I’ve racked up over the years
- It would take a very, very long time to copy and paste every post I’ve ever made and put them on Blogger (which, in case it wasn’t clear, is what I’m proposing here)
- What few readers I have would be very confused by the change
I’m sure there are more that I’m not thinking of.
A friend of mine proposed that I simply stop blogging on HLL and start blogging on L&F. I could rename the new blog HLL 2.0, or something, and leave a message on THIS blog saying where new posts can be found. The downside is that the blog would never be complete, in one place, ever again.
So I’m in a conundrum.
I WAS SO PROUD OF MY BLOG THIS SUMMER. Then I got all slack again and I don’t know what happened. I have to try harder.
