Hi Geoff,
It is always best to keep up as many activities as can ... to keep the
mind alert ... :-)
You couldn't really give up the on QL world now, could you ?
The Just Words! website is due to close in a weeks time.
The site host, Lycos, is cutting out all unprofitable activities, and
although they promised site hosting would remain until at least the end
of March they have now brought the closure forward to 15th February.
I have been investigating alternative hosts with the intention of
making the site a little more professional and until this weekend was
intending to relaunch the site as soon as possible. I am now having
serious second thoughts and may keep the site permanently closed.
Rewriting the site for a new host will be a time consuming task given
the numerous links that have to be changed and I have to consider
whether the usage of the site - 9 people per week - justifies this time
investment.
QL activities take up much of my time that could be devoted to other
things. In particular I have a number of family history projects that
are on permanent hold. I have still not kept a promise to a niece that
I made 3 years ago.
It is very tempting to abandon the QL to be able to spend more time on
family history. The last time I wrote anything for one of the family
history magazines I was paid generously for my work. The article
produced a large number of reactions including one from a distant
relative I had never heard of before and who had masses of family
photos. In return she got a mass of detail from me that peviously she
had known nothing about. The QL prevents from doing more work like this.
If you want something from the Just Words! website, download it in the
next 7 days,
Best wishes,
Geoff
