Blogging: What's Going on Here

To make a long story short, after weeks of somebody visiting old posts, I made the decision to do the same. I haven't regularly read my old posts. Thus, I have put the majority of my blog back into the Draft folder. I am editing posts to slim down this blog. 

Totals: All 3004. Published 260. Draft 2744. Photographs are over 5000. 

Yep, I have been blogging 17 years. What you can see now are recent post with older posts that begins in 2024. The future of this blog is in a state of transition. I am considering a blog name change to, The Hues of Maywyn*. Right now, however, I feel like giving up on blogging.

 

The increased use of the name Salty Pumpkin since I began using this blog's name in 2012 has been difficult to deal with. Now that there are websites using just the name Salty Pumpkin to sell online, it has been devastating to me. A Broken spirit to put it mildly. 

The more a name is used online, I believe, the more results that will appear, as in the search engine determines the results based on use, not the use of an individual. The majority of those Maywyns were there waiting for the search engine to include them. 

I don't believe that is the case with the name, Salty Pumpkin.

* I will remain with Blogger.

I tried, again, with Wordpress, even with a paid account. 

After 4 tries to add a template, it is so difficult to edit that I gave up, canceled my order and deleted my account. I'm not a coded tech savvy person. But I know that wordpress is  not for me.
