Merged blogs

If you have been following along, you noticed that these started out as separate blogs, listing each other.

Then all the blogs were to be merge onto one site, but to help both reader swith phone screens and readers with full size screens, it was decided to have 2 blogs, and import weekly updates from other blogs that might not post as often.

But then, after moving the blogs, it was found that there was no (known) way to just check some post (the new ones) and move them. Trying it without this feature, resulted in the receiving blog, including this one, being deluged with duplicate posts.

It was then decided to move to wordpress,
http://doghome.wordpress.com/
since it was not suppose to duplicate posts.

I'm guessing it is set up to be signed out of between downloads. This was not done (easier on this end) resulting in up to 8 copies of each post (as each blog had previously received it's own archives back and many the other's archives too.

Well, of the about 500 posts. Less than 200 made the grade, the others are gone, (unless saved by their original site), but the about 200 post (dubbed the "un-dead archives" because they keep popping back up) are now old archives on different sites. Most of them are intact over an the Darling blog.

It has been nearly a month, and posts here have strayed way off topic - I guess with the idea that dog post will all go to the doghome.wordpress site.

What can I say? The dog topics will return - where I don't know, probably over at doghome.wordpress, until then, you might want to skip all the unbridled, personal, off topic, sometimes tipsy posts that are on some of the blogs - unless laughter is your thing, and you like to read off topic stuff.

New dog posts will start again, at:
http://doghome.wordpress.com/
you can go there and mark it as a favorite so you can find it again.
