Today, I was reminded of a poem I had been inspired by many years ago: Not Always May, by Longfellow. Here’s an excerpt.
All things rejoice in youth and love,
The fullness of their first delight!
And learn from the soft heavens above
The melting tenderness of night.
Maiden, that read’st this simple rhyme,
Enjoy thy youth, it will not stay;
Enjoy the fragrance of thy prime,
For oh, it is not always May!

Blogger is pulling the plug on their FTP option. I am not amused.
I was one of the very first users of this program & used for publishing on my domain name. In fact, people like me are why Blogger was -and is- so popular today. I got the word out. I talked it up. Case in point: I spoke about how great Blogger was in USA Today.
I also used it & showed how easy it was to use. I personally cajoled at least 25 people to start blogs. I even started a blog for my family when my brother-in-law was in a terrible accident, to help us keep in touch & watch his progress throughout his recovery.
Now I’m getting thrown away like yesterday’s trash. No love from Google. So I’m giving no love back. I can’t recommend the hosted version of Blogger (it’s not very good.) Bite me Blogger! You are dead to me.
