Well, I made the switch to Blogger Beta. This means that some of you who are with Blogger but have not upgraded may not be able to comment here using your Blogger account - you may have to comment anonymously - but I still want to know who you are - so say so in your comments.
I debated about the switch while there are still so many bugs, but some of the features were enticing and I had an "upgrade" button on my dashboard so I decided to give it a try. Fortunately (or unfortunately) this blog is no so precious to so many people that I can't risk some bugs or downtime in the name of good ol' progress.
So if you find issues with my site or run into problems - let me know by e-mailing me at lilyladyblue at gmail dot com. I probably won't be able to do anything about bugs or problems, but I will want to know about them so I can research it or e-mail Blogger about it.
I'm also working on creating another blog - this one written by the "real" me. When I started Decompressing Faith, I was concerned about my identity and the risk of people who know me reading what I had to say about the church I left and the circumstances under which I left.
But now I am longing to be myself and my worries have stilled. There are so few of you who actually read here, and there is no one who comments here that I am concerned about knowing who I really am. Also, if I want to become a legitimate "writer" I will need to put my name behind my thoughts.
In any case I will be working on the new blog over time, but I won't be leaving this blog in the dirt, expect to continue to see me here for some time. When I am satisfied with my template and am ready to start posting, I will let you know and you will be able to e-mail me to get the address of the new blog. I will not be linking to it from this blog for obvious reasons - since I am planning to use my real identity on the new blog. But I will have no problem with providing the link to anyone who has commented here more than once or twice.
I have not yet decided if I will continue this blog once the new one is established, but that decision is a long way off. We're talking months and months. This new blog will probably be some time in the making since I don't see myself being able to manage more than one blog until the kids go back to school, at least. It will depend on my free time and the amount of bugs I run into in Blogger Beta. Also, I am *hoping* (with hubby's help, him being a web designer and all) to create a unique template - not one of the off-the-shelf ones Blogger offers. This will take awhile, I imagine. I am also *hoping* to get my own domain and have my brother host it - since that's one of the things he does for a living.
I suppose the biggest reason for the move is that I am desiring to leave most of my whining behind, hoping to begin to be more constructive. I created this blog so I could whine anonymously, and it certainly has served that purpose smashingly. I have felt so free and safe during my ugly process of decompressing and healing. However, I might decide to continue this blog just for that purpose - so I can whine, anonymously.
Expect it to be business as usual around here until further notice. If I am short on posting in the next few days or week, it's because I'm trying to get through The Secret Message of Jesus (for the second time) and The Great Giveaway before they are both due back at the library.
