QOTW - Well The "Move" Is On!

Not only have I had to move my AOL Journal to another hosting site but I now also face the task of moving my AOL websites to another hosting site as well!

This is definitely going to take some time! I have a lot of information on a lot of pages within my AOL websites!

Of course it angers me (I'm being polite here) that AOL has decided to do away with their member pages! It was bad enough when they discontinued access to the Usenet groups and I thought that I couldn't get any angrier with them - but I was wrong!

I'm beginning to wonder what AOL is going to be good for now!

so I would be interested in hearing the opinions of others who have AOL websites and journals:

How do you feel about these latest AOL changes and what are you going to do with your AOL Journal(s) and website(s)?

My First (Original) Journal Entry!

was way back in March 2005! Here it is!

Well Hello World!

For the longest time I couldn't even access the AOL Journals. Now that I have upgraded I decided to start one of my own. Right now I'm just experimenting.

  What a difference time has made! It's been more than a year since my first post to my journal and like I mentioned above I couldn't even get access to the "journals" part of AOL because my computer wasn't powerful enough and didn't even have enough hard drive space or memory.
  
  Are you using the same computer that you did in March of '05 or do you have a newer computer?

McCain or Obama?

Well since the election for President is getting nearer and nearer I guess the best first Question of the Week would be who do you most like and why?

Me? I'm for Obama all the way! McCain is just too much like our current President - Bush - for me! And goodness knows we don't want 4 (or possibly 8) more years of the same thing!

My Welcome Message!

Hello World!

I just wanted to welcome you to my newest blog:

Getting To Know You!

Actually the blog's url is "Getting 2 Know You because the other name was taken!

Originally this journal was on AOL but as of the end of this month AOL will be discontinuing their journals (as well as their ftp, hometown and AOL members pages!

Instead of "crying over spilled milk", I decided to move my AOL journal here since I was getting some good replies and comments!

So the basic objective of this blog is to ask a Question Of The Week and you can answer and also leave a link to your own blog or journal as well!

It's just a good way of getting to know each other!
