Since early 2005 when I first started blogging, I've been using the Radio platform. Although it's a bit less feature rich than WordPress, Blogger and such, there is much about it to which I've become accustomed. Also, I am a sentimental cuss. I do use other platforms for other sites, but am loathe to abandon Radio for NOEBIE.NET.

Awhile back Salon and Userland sent notification that they will no longer offer hosting for blogs and comments come 2010. I have this Weblog hosted at GoDaddy, so the site itself is not a problem, but once the Radio Community Server is shut off, the native comments system will no longer work. I've explored alternatives, but haven't found anything so far with the functionality I like. Therefore, I am shutting off comments here for the time being. Comments that have been left over the past five years are in my archives, and perhaps I'll eventually get around to putting them up somewhere so they can still be seen.

I'll continue to look for an appropriate solution. I do enjoy hearing from you, and welcome your comments via email to noebie@gmail.com in the interim.
