Not happy

I can't help but compare this whole debacle to the "New Coke"  train wreck in the 8o's.

It has been almost a month since HSB rode off into the sunset & WordPress was crammed down our throats.

Guess what?

I just now, like 45 seconds ago, found The Front Porch.

I guess I have to ask, why doesn't it say somewhere, "Front Porch"?

Instead there is this vague, highlighted thingy saying "we're here" ???

I mean "we're here" isn't exactly the same thing as "The Front Porch" now is it?

And do we have a way to look at the latest posts? 'Cause I still haven't found it.

By the time I find anybodies blogs these days I don't have time to read anything.

Sorry guys. I miss you.

And I just have to wonder why, being as this is "Homestead Blogger" ( or at least it used to be) that there is not one single, even vaguely homestead-y, template available?

They are all super-modern & trendy.

Um, isn't that sort of the antithesis of what homesteading is about?

Yes, I know I'm whining.

Yes, I know it is childish & unlady-like.

But I miss being able to DO ANYTHING here.

I miss reading my friends blogs.

I miss seeing what folks are up to.

I miss Homestead Blogger.

I liked Homestead Blogger.

WordPress not so much.

I still just don't understand why we/they (whoever made this decision) decided to take a fabulously successful & popular website & destroy it.

I mean have y'all ever heard the saying "If it ain't broke- don't fix it" ?

I bet the folks at Coke could tell you about that one.

Blessings.
