How  many times have you tried something new? Even though the “old” worked just fine. But you just had to try the “new”. And try again and again at the “new”, only to find yourself going back to the “old”?

Is it in our nature to see if there are better ways of doing something? Better ways that may fit us better? Only, again, to come back to the original way because, after all, it was best to begin with.

You possibly thought the grass may be greener for whatever reason, and possibly it may have been to some extent, but the old, familiar way was very functional, very comforting, and overall still the greener of the two.

Yes, I have. I’ll admit to screwing up here and there with my blogs. Always thinking there is a better way, yet the original way was the most effective after all.

How many times do you try until you give up? How many times before those around you give up?

The answers to those questions, I do not know. I’ve learned over the years that Trial & Error work best. You can not see if the other way is greener, unless you try.

I have tried and tried and yet I still come back to the old. The old, which could use a revamping or upgrading a bit, but yet it is still functional.

So if you haven’t guessed what I’m specifically talking about, is my blog. I have gone back to Blogger and am not happy at all. Although the perk of having Google Friend Connect (GFC)  is fabulous, the idea of farking up the template (as I’ve already done twice now), outweighs the friendliness and convenience of GFC.

WordPress has the most fabulous plug-ins AND THEY WORK! (or at least for me they have) Themes are easily uploaded and, for the most part, easily customizable.

There are perks to both platforms however, after being so long on WordPress, I have grown accustomed to the perks and ease.

In all honesty, I miss WordPress. I miss my blog. How many times do my readers and friends follow me around before they kick me in my bum and tell me to stop! I have a good thing, quit farking it up?

I say this to you know, as I am totally ready to cut the Blogger strings……..for good. I have a fabulous new blog name “Pibbles & the Hormonal Heathen”. I’d like to rename Four-Legged Mom with it. My platform is perfect here.

What’s in a name change? New content, possibly more risque? A broader audience with larger reader base and more interaction via comments? How can one lose?

Will you have me back here?

From the bottom of my heart, I apologize for going back and forth with this and any discomfort or heartache it may have caused you. You have my permission to kick me squarely in my bum. Matter a fact, if I ever talk about a change of “platform” again, disown me.
