Alberta Blogs is Shutting Down
July 23rd, 2010 | by Administrator |I think it is time for me to shut this thing down. Alberta Blogs began as an experiment in graduate school to see how many bloggers were in Alberta, and to foster an identity amongst bloggers as being simply pro-Alberta.
Life has changed since 2005. Back then, I only had work and school to worry about. Now I have a child, a dog, a cat, a full-time job and other demands upon my time, and this blog is amongst the lower ranks of my priorities.
I am not opposed to giving or selling the domain to someone who has the time and energy to put into developing a blogroll for Albertans. Blogrolling.com was the best thing going, but it has really gone to pot with the stupid frames that pop up when you click on a blog. It seems the simplest solution would be to have a very simple page with all the links on it, and have bloggers install a button on their blog linking back to the blog roll. It almost doesn’t make sense for every blog out there to have a list of 100+ links in their sidebar.
Anyways, those are some thoughts and ramblings. If you have an interest in taking over the domain, send me some of your ideas. albertablogs@gmail.com
