Well, It Was Worth A Shot

Okay kids, my experiment is over. I tried blogger, and it was okay. But I raked in a total of $3 bucks in two months from my ads, and that's just not really worth it. I miss the Wordpress features, and how much prettier the site was.. so from now on you can find me at my old site address at http://notoriousv.wordpress.com. I'm really sorry if you have to change bookmarks.

I really appreciate your willingness to put up with my experiment. I guess I will have to settle for a blog that doesn't make money, but is satisfying in so many other ways. Because it is, and gosh dern it, I luv you guyz!

So here's the game plan: I'm going to re-post all the posts on this site over to my old one, and they'll all show up as if they were posted the same day, and I suppose I can't repost the comments, but it's the best I can do to keep it all together. Bear with me, and I promise you everything will be back to normal soon as pie.

Photo Graphic Possibilities

Traditionally, whenever my hit counter jumped another 10,000 I try to show my gratitude by posting some pictures of one various body part or another. It's strange because even though I started the hit counter on this site at the same point as the one on my original site, but this one isn't growing nearly as fast as my old one. Maybe it's because I'm not getting as many hits from Google searches, or perhaps this hit counter has higher standards than the first... but either way, my old site has reached 72,000 hits and I want to celebrate that accomplishment in the manner I always have.

Last night Roseboy told me his favorite part of me was my mouth, and how it didn't seem to be captured correctly in the pictures of me he had seen. He mentioned that we didn't have any pictures of the two of us together. "No, we don't." I wasn't sure what kind of pictures he was referring to, and to be honest, I don't remember what he said to lead me to believe he was talking about dirty ones. I made some crack about making sure they were flattering, and he said we could go through and edit them together.

"We'd have to be careful about what happens to them," I say.

"You could hold onto them," he replies. "I don't mind what happens to them, if they end up on the internet or whatever."

"You wouldn't mind them on the internet?" I ask. "Even ... my blog?" He just grinned at me.

I told him about this website. I shouldn't have. I didn't tell him how to find it, and I didn't really give too many details about it besides that I wrote about him, and I wrote about sex.

"Have you ever done that before?"

"Take dirty pictures?"

"Yeah."

"Yes, but never with anyone else."

"You mean, of yourself?"

"How else do you think my blog got so popular?"

Is it possible?

Is it possible to successfully switch from Wordpress to Blogger?

Is it possible to continue a blog when I can't import my old posts? Is it possible to keep my readers? Is it possible to maintain my anonymity if I can't password-protect individual posts?

I want to try switching to Blogger so I can use Adsense and try to use this blog to earn some extra cash for my upcoming year in Europe. I figure that with 200-400 hits daily, I might actually make some money.

On Blogger, unfortunately, you either restrict the entire blog to specific members, or leave every post open to everyone. Right now I think I'm going to try leaving it open, and just be slightly less specific on certain details of certain stories. I think I'll be okay with that.

I have to admit though, I do feel a little bit like a traitor because I really believe in Wordpress, and I believe it's a much better service than Blogger. My Wordpress site will stay up though, for archival and referral purposes. And so I can go back to it, if this falls through.

I really appreciate all of you taking the time to click an extra link to see me. Please update your bookmarks and continue to comment and let me know what you think about switching, the new site, the ads, or anything at all.
