one blog i enjoyed recently dissapeared ..i wrote her and she said she had dropped her blog & only posted on facebook now. how sad ..i don't do facebook and don't plan to start anytime soon. fb is just too invasive, too buggy & taking over all the internet things i've learned to enjoy & love over the years ..like the messaging programs. i don't think that one internet entity needs or should be allowed to control all the popular activities people enjoy on the internet. but, happily, for every blogger who has opted for the frillyness of instagram, pinterest or facebook ...there many more blogs that are still going strong, posting great tutes & ideas. it's expensive to keep a dot com site going & the freebie webhosting sites are sometimes very difficult to understand or manage ..so i do understand the escape to other formats, but ..i'm still not joining fb, insta or anything just so i can play online w old faves ..there's lots & lots of other places to love still going strong!
