A New Blogger in 2025!!! Why?
Permanence is why. I've recently had the realization that nothing online has any sort of permanence. And that's dumb. Think of all the websites you have loved or created, once someone stops paying for them (in whatever currency is taken as payment) they are just gone. I tried to get some stuff off tumblr today and its totally gone. The further I looked into old sites/blogs etc that I had created at some stage they were also gone or now behind a paywall.
The only thing that has survived so far is Facebook and these Google owned blogger sites. All of my old Blogger sites are still here....actually my wordpress.com sites are all still up....for now.
I feel a change with Facebook is coming as less and less people use it and I stopped paying for my brettfoster,net url this year, yet I still want a place I can post to and direct people to who may be interested in my projects. and I don't want to have to pay for them every bloody year and I like the idea of them being around when I'm gone.....that got dark quick!

I don't think this is a good solution, but for now it may be the best solution or at least the best for me.
Google feels like it is safe as a company and, though they have nuked a few services that they used to offer, I feel like Blogger might be here to stay?
