Welcome to Fiction Daily 2

Posted in Life in general, On writing at 5:51 am by Marion

Hello out there in Fiction Dailyland!

Welcome to the new WordPress blog! This is a happy day … though bittersweet, as today I say, “So long” to the familiar green-and-yellow circles of Fiction Daily 1 that have been my faithful friend for eight months.

From my first exposure to WordPress I knew it was my match … yet, so many obstacles kept us apart. When the old blog began to malfunction, a daring support technician at my Web host said, “Let’s go ahead and download WordPress and get started.”

I thank him for pushing me out of the airplane … otherwise, I would still be struggling.

As a background note, my Web host is discontinuing that old format, so in some ways, the airplane I’ve jumped out of is, in fact, heading for a certain crash.

In the days ahead I will undertake the task of archiving the past eight months onto this format. The old blog will still be visible, but as you’ve probably noticed by now, you have to click several times for it to open.

Once the old blog is archived I will keep the link live until, well, the bitter end.

I invite you to leave a comment with your thoughts about the new blog … and send along your requests for blog topics, too.

Signing off the first live entry … Marion
