First, I wanted to let you all know that I am taking a break from online stuff during the holiday.  I'm not sure whether it will be a one or two week break since I seem to lose track of time over holidays.  Have you ever noticed that there is some kind of break in the time/ space continuum when there is a holiday?  This makes scheduling rather difficult.  Anyway, this brings me to my second announcement.  When I come back from the break, the blog will have a new home.  It's new address is apollosacademy.blogspot.com.  (Ugh.  The link doesn't seem to be working consistently. If you cut and paste or plain-old type this address above, it should work. Make sure you keep the http:// thing in front... there is no www, however.)

When HomeschoolBlogger updated last weekend, there were some major glitches in the system.  This was a great source of frustration for me since I had just posted the Carnival of Homeschooling, and the Carnival usually gets 1,000 to 2,000 hits a week.  To try to alleviate some aggravation, I began a second blog and reposted the Carnival there.  This was intended to be temporary, but as I played with the site, I liked some of the layouts and options there that I did not have here.  Ultimately, I decided to move the blog to the new host. (That sounds like some kind of weird, sci-fi, alien thing, doesn't it?) I will keep this site open for awhile as Isave old posts and finalize the new site.  I will also repost some old posts from here at the new site... mainly so I have them all in one location, but also to be able to share them with you.

One aspect of the new site that I like is that a blog can have multiple contributors, so hopefully Frodo will also contribute some posts.  I would ultimately like the kids to be able to add posts or pictures that they would like to share, and the organization of the site would allow them to do so as unique authors.

I have been encouraged by how many people have requested to be alerted when I add new posts to my blog.  I hope to have a subscription service up and running at the new site when I return in January.  I'll let you know how to do that once it is set up.

I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas and a glorious New Year!
