I only did WordPress b/c i found the directions on MMM and i was on sabbatical and needed to do some writing every day aside from academic writing. I love when i get updates so don't change!!!

Probably. I dunno, it is so satisfying to get into the nitty-gritty, maybe I will! I like the freedom my aggressively unprofessional stance gives me mentally, though. If I bought a domain I'd feel like I needed to put more time into it instead of just writing about my grocery list for six weeks straight, or whatever. I wouldn't mind having a few more readers/commenters, just because I enjoy the interaction with new people, so I might try to get more intentional about raising my profile a little in the new year.<br /><br />I...will not be done by 40, as I'm turning 36 in a month and have approximately 8 million years to go until financial freedom, but I admire your ambition :-)thesingledollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983910821824106143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856734926342648468.post-46071471997954982772014-12-11T13:19:51.286-08:002014-12-11T13:19:51.286-08:00Huh!

Needed to get in on the ground floor!<br /><br />I miss Wendy's blog too. I don't even know what happened -- she seemed upset about something, but no word what, and then *poof*! I really liked it -- it was one of the first blogs I read all the way through, start to finish.<br /><br />I don't really think I'm going to make the record of never moving to self-hosted! I'm actually glad I'm the self-proclaimed least professional blogger ever -- it takes the pressure off, some, if I want to disappear for a week or two, or just write about nothing but my grocery bill for a month.thesingledollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983910821824106143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856734926342648468.post-41200285783177747642014-12-11T13:10:43.571-08:002014-12-11T13:10:43.571-08:00I am never moving to Wordpress. $10 a year, and I ...I am never moving to Wordpress. $10 a year, and I get a blog name that sounds kind of fancy. At least I think it is. :)<br /><br />Agreed that it's weird to see people fall off the radar, even though I do so from time to time. I feel like most people don't have the stamina to keep writing long term.

Until then, I didn't realize TIP hadn't been posting, though I loved her sense of humor and enjoyed reading her blog posts. I think I got pretty out of the loop when I went to posting every day in October and wasn't visiting blogs. I'm just now feeling back in the groove from that.<br /><br />Anyway... same here.

I miss Wendy. I email back and forth with her, but I seriously miss interacting more often than that :) <br />3. I know that Female Science Professor (my Academia/Women in STEM blog fave) has been on blogspot for 8 years or so. Nicole and Maggie have been at wordpress for 4 years or so. So you're not alone in that :) <br />(Oh, and I'm not calling them nonprofessional bloggers - just that they didn't buy their own domain).Alicia @ Financial Diffractionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05643373008918810105noreply@blogger.com
