Dorrie's Doll Diaries
Saturday, 30 April 2011
Nearing the end...(sniffle) But not the end, so I'm not that sad, really...

Well, last night was pretty busy. It's weird, but I've been avoiding the main 'Somewhere That's Green' site since we moved. I ended up choosing to donate so many dolls - I was proud of me for eliminating so much clutter, but mildly depressed for a while, too. Dealt with it by avoiding all those photos of all the dolls I didn't have anymore. Common enough reaction, I'd say.

 

Kinda felt a little guilty about paying for stuff I wasn't using, even if it was a pittance. Here's the deal, a pittance is a pile when you don't have it. Oh, we're not that bad off yet, but as I said earlier, I can think of other purposes for that 'measly' $5. a month. Doubly so if I was avoiding it.

 

Turns out, the blog here is what's hogging all the space. So I'm going through it, day by day, and deleting all the images. I'm hoping that will bring the space down enough so I can keep the words, if not the photos. If not, I still have the whole thing backed up on my hard drive - every entry from Day 01 - so I hope to archive it. It kinda ranks that Blogger, where this'll end up tomorrow, has an archive feature. Unfortunately, it requires an .xml format, which I don't have. Researching .xml so far has shown that it's waaaay beyond my mediocre skills to redo all my Word documents in that fashion - and my copy of Office simply doesn't include .xml. So, we'll see. It's gonna rank, deleting all these photos, then having to dump the blog, but it may happen. I hope not. It's seriously tedious going through it page by page !

 

On the plus side, I've done all of 2005 and half of 2006 already...

 

See you tomorrow, on Blogger ! When the new post is up, I'll post the link here !

You could always try exporting through Word as an XML, but it won't look as pretty as it did, or at least that's what I heard. Couldn't hurt to try it.  If anything. sometimes it's good to start fresh.
