Update

First ten days of this crucial month and I got good enough stats to make the decision. Oahu East will be closed and deleted by the 20th of this month. That will give me enough time to start September on an even keel with the remaining nine blogs.

"A blog is merely a tool that lets you do anything from change the world

to share your dancing experience."

I had deliberately over diluted the readership to make it come to a head sooner. The entire blogosphere was in a plateau and I had to do something. Of course it didn't help to have the screw ups interfering in the hits and from my reading of the forums, Blogger cannot do anything to stop them.

Also I am still experimenting to try to get the reader/dancers become writer/dancers. Many think there is a big commitment. I just want them to say something and express a different opinion from mine, just so that it is their honest opinion. In blogs, S.O.S. stands for "same old shit" so anything we can do to avoid that is my priority. And "whatever" anyone says is not S.O.S. The new blog may work, I have to try.

You get enough of them going and I can get Blogger to send you an invitation. You can then get in, when you wish, write what you want, post a photo and whatever, publish, close it and get out without saying boo to anyone.

Even later you may choose to be a Guest Author in another blog of your choosing and lay out some bigger blogs. It will be the same way, and you can blog whatever and whenever you wish. For sure, every Guest Author is a potential hit magnet and that will benefit everyone in our ever growing circle of dance.
