Blog-City is a nice place to live, but it's sure gotten EXPENSIVE!

This is what my Blog USED to look like:


I really miss it. It was called toledoeast.blog-city.com.

I could add music that would play automatically depending on the entry (like a theme song) , we could view our posts in WYSIWYG, preview, or standard HTML , and photos & music we're stored on their servers, so that if we chose to use something again, it would post much more quickly. The best part was that you USED to be able to completely design your entire layout: no "widgets", no templates if you chose not to have them, and no limited fonts. It was great, for 3 and a half years. I am now going through withdrawal.

I left Blog-City for good, about 2 weeks ago. The price to pay had become too high. Although I had the premium membership which was $3.50 per month, the option to stay there for free was always available. Then came the "takeover"...

Widgets were forced upon us, unless we chose to forfeit support. That meant if I were to choose to keep my unique layout, that took YEARS to perfect, I would lose any possibility for available assistance. I felt betrayed.

To make matters worse, a monthly fee of $4.50 was imposed with no option to choose. Long-time faithful members were told to "pay up or get out". I had no choice but to leave. A yearly fee of $54.00 would take away two Christmas gifts from my child in the long run.

So if you ever pass by a blog at Blog-City, think of me, if you would, and all the wonderful, cleansing posts I had there. And, please, give my regards to the Mayoress.
