Dear Blogger,

You’ve been a reliable companion the past four-plus years. We’ve shared lots of stories — some good, some bad. 2008 was our most active year together.

But I’ve found someone new. Someone fresh and open to new possibilities.

It’s not you. It’s just time I moved on. My new partner offers more of what I’m looking for.

Try not to be jealous, but it will be hard…for you, I know. I’m sure you’ve heard of the multi-talented WordPress. She is only four years younger than you, but that’s generations in technology years. And WordPress dresses so much better — she has style, in reserves. Plus, she’s so dynamic. How can I ever get bored?
