My Move Away From Blogger

Things change, there is nothing that can stop it. Seasons, personalities, clothing, food, bourbon, golf scores. Sure, there are millions more to add to that list, but I'm lazy. One thing I've always wanted to do was shift this blog off Blogger and into a more formal setting. When I started this blog back in 2008, I wanted to start a blog because my pal Kelly was talking up how much fun he was having with it, and I figured, "hell, I've got random nuggets of info and opinion that maybe four or more people may be interested in, so I should try that, too!" And off I went.

Over time I found that I wasn't a huge fan of Blogger. It is limited in many of the features you can use, unless you want to spend gobs of time trolling the developer area which, frankly, I wasn't. Loading video was a pain in the ass at times, and trying to fit everything into their little templates and widgets was more constricting instead of freeing.

Thankfully, with the aid of going back to school to learn more about web development and other web-friendly skills, I was built my own portfolio site. It has a better view of my photography and design pieces, as well as a new way to access and view my Instagram and Twitter feeds. So while my blog lives on, it will no longer live on here at this address. I hope you'll continue to follow along in my pixelated life over at its new home, www.campbler.com/blog.

So long, Blogger. You were good to me, but I'm a growing lad, and I needed a new pasture.
