Good Riddance to WordPress

A few of you may have surfed by our blog over the last few days and noticed a post with no text, only a title. What you might not have known was that this peculiar post was the beginning of a very quick end to our time on WordPress. This will be the last post either of us will put on this particular blog. After working on the last one for nearly an hour, I went to upload it and all WordPress uploaded was the title, and it didn’t save my draft either! Had this been a one-time incident, I might have let it go. Unfortunately, it has happened dozens of times since we started this blog on WordPress a year ago. Enough is enough.

Leigh and I will soon be putting together our own website that will contain more than just a missions blog. We hope to provide more easy access to prayer requests as well as the plethora of pictures Leigh snaps everywhere she goes. There will also be up-to-date and easier-to-read support information. It may take us a few weeks before it is up and running, but when it is, we think it will work out better for everyone. If you frequent this blog but do not receive our official e-mail updates, please send us a message with your preferred e-mail so we can update you when the new website is working.

As far as my personal blog is concerned, I am discontinuing my relationship with WordPress as well. The blog site is simply unhelpful and fraught with glitches with which I am tired of battling. I will try to transfer my blog to our new website as well, but if this doesn’t work, it will probably be moved back to the Blogger system which works so much better (why did I ever leave it?).

In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding prayer concerns or things going on in our life here in Germany, you can still find us on Facebook or e-mail us. And, word to the wise, don’t mess with WordPress – I believe it exists only to make people’s lives miserable.

See you soon on another URL,

Bo Bowen
