Help. I'd like to start a blog again. but I'd like to start fresh. but I don't want to obliterate all those posts and years of maintaining. I've just exported all my data to an open office document. but hitting the delete key on the server is scary... will you hold my hand?

OK.

Can understand why it's scary. If you're ready, you can do it. Do what's best for you, or wait. :)

As long as you have it backed up, there shouldn't be a problem, right?

dendroica: that's what I"m trying to convince myself of!

I'm here. But now you've got me all jittery.
- Micah Wittman
You're re-using the same domain / service - that's why you're obliterating the online version?
- Micah Wittman
Personally I would hate deleting a blog. Could you stick the new one on a different subdomain?
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
no. I host it on my domain. I would just like to start fresh. I still maintain one little blog but it's not even a blog. I just use Expression Engine to run it on the back end. I'm sure there's probably a better way.

I think it's an OCD thing. I don't really want to keep 2 blogs if I'm not using it. kinda like keeping a shirt I never wear or never intend to wear again.

Get a new domain if you want to start over :-)
- David Knight
Then I'd have 3 domains?! oh dear.
- Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Only 3?
- David Knight
I've been blogging forever (well before it was *called* blogging). I've never deleted a site. I've moved it offline, backed them up to my current host, but never deleted. I'm not ready for that level of commitment.

What are you going to blog about? if you don't mind a .net domain there are some good ones available, godaddy has $0.89 .info domains right now too (I think that's still on)
- David Knight
Nathalie, your new first blog post topic: TO DELETE OR NOT TO DELETE, THAT IS THE QUESTION.
- Micah Wittman
the deed is done.
- Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
I'm doing ok. but my guess is that if I smoked, I'd be on my 2nd or 3rd by now.

hhmmmmmm misinforms.net is available if you'd like to start a blog of lies. Just write a post confirming the death of whatever celeb. twitters have mistakenly decided is dead, slap some ads on there and profit!
- David Knight
phew! Fresh Start now!
- Micah Wittman
go ahead. :)
- Mycaptain
Yay for closure.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
I'm still not on the yay front. now I'm deleting all the folders.
