My blog is NOT moving..........after all!

I made a new website with Go daddy. www.elizabethbarton.com

It's fun! there are some new features that were easy to use, after a bit of wrangling...and I'm quite happy with it...or will be when I learn how resize images! And no it's not just a case of uploading smaller ones...alas. <\p>

A few kind readers of this blog suggested I add a blog to the website...great idea...and website builder says that's very possible...BUT you can only manage comments through a third party company whose wishes and desires you have to agree to! I checked on the internetfor reviews of this company...and I don't want somebody monitoring my blog or the comments...so in the end decided to simply put a link to THIS blog on the website.<\p>

so often these days, things are not what they seem. There is a commercial element underlying nearly everything. But art and music can still be enjoyed relatively free! Most of the big museums of the world have nearly all of their collection on line, photographed in hi res, lots and lots of music is available on you tube....do have a book or magazine to prop up in front of the screen though to read when the ads come!! or close your eyes and ears for a few moments calming meditation and slow breathing...<\p>

And we can create art ourselves! We can draw and paint and cut and sew and sing and dance!! And nobody can charge us for doing that, or require us to watch adverts while we're doing it, or monitor it in any way. <\P>

So...to Art we will go!!! to Art we will go. Hey Ho the merry o to Art we will go!! <\P>

So, if you have been, thanks for reading! And you can comment here...quite safely...and you won't be deluged with adverts if you do!!! Thank you. Elizabeth

It said "We were unable to load Disqus" so I couldn't comment. I too have been branching out past quilts to doing watercolor and other types of art.

Under what heading will the blog be? I follow you using Feedly so I need to change the RSS feed.

I’m a Feedly follower, too. Hope the new blog has an RSS link! Dot

You, as the blog owner, don’t need to do anything to put your blog on Feedly. But the blog does have to have RSS enabled. As long as it’s set up with an RSS feed, the users of Feedly or other RSS readers just copy/paste your blog’s URL into the “add a feed” section of their Feedly home page. Glad you’re still here. :-).
