Changes. The word reminds me of an old David Bowie song. And if you now have an earworm (like I do), I’ll say, “You’re welcome.” After all, that is a good song.
But seriously, this post doesn’t have anything to do with music. Most of you know I cut back on my blogging last year due to health issues. I had two different sites – this blog – and my website. Because I hate ads on blogs, I paid for a subscription to keep them off this site. As it turns out, the subscription cost for this site is more than the annual fee for my self-hosted website.
So, in an effort to simplify things, I’m moving the blog over to my website. I plan to keep (for now) the domain of joanhall.blog and redirect it to my website. However, the new blog address is https://joanhall.net/blog.
I’ve imported all my old posts and comments but have been unsuccessful in importing all my followers. If you’d like to follow along, you can subscribe there, or add the above address to your reader.
Still, I don’t plan to blog often, at least for the foreseeable future. My primary method of communication will be through my monthly newsletter. If you’d like to subscribe, you can do so by clicking this link.
Speaking of newsletters, if you have a new book coming out and would like me to feature it, just contact me. My email is joan@jhall.net. (No erotica.)
That’s it for now. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and I wish you all the best for 2025.

It’s nice to hear from you, Joan. I hope you are well and had a good festive season.
We had a wonderful holiday season. Like most, it went by fast. Now, I’m ready for spring. (Not a fan of winter weather.)
I don’t like winter either
Changes are always good. I have resubscribed. All the best for 2025!
Thank you, Darlene. Yes, change keeps us from getting in a rut! Wishing you a fantastic 2025.
I’m subbed to your new blog address.👍
Thank you, Priscilla!
I subscribed to the new site!
Thank you, Teri.
I had that type of experience–where the costs skyrocketed and forced me into a change. I bet we all have! I’ll follow you over there.
Thanks, Jacqui. I couldn’t see paying for two sites!
Going to try to subscribe. (You know WP doesn’t like it when I do that.) Also adding you to my reader. Best wishes with the move!
Keeping my fingers crossed!
I’m all signed up at the new place. All the best to you. 😊
Thanks, John!
😊
I just subscribed to the new site!
Thanks so much, Liz!
You’re welcome, Joan!
I love this song, Joan. Great way to start out the week. I hoped over and subscribed or resubscribe. Sending hugs xo
Thanks, Denise. You’ve been on my mind this week, and I’d planned to email you. I know the fires are in Southern California, but I thought of you. Hope you’re safe!
Thank you, Joan! It’s horrible what’s happening there. I hope our state gets some rain soon, we’ve gotten much more than them. Hate to see our area on the list of potential issues like those, too. Still love the mountains though…xo
Sounds like a good plan, Joan. I’ve been thinking of doing the same though I’m not quite ready to give up the blog quite yet. Change is inevitable and it’s good to acknowledge it and go with it. Hugs.
You have a great number of blog followers, so I don’t blame you for not giving it up. Yep, things change, and it’s often hard to keep up. Hope you’re doing well.
Thanks, Joan. I’m ambling along, trying to decide what to do next.
Yep. Now I have an earworm. Congrats on moving your blog. The same thing happened with me (the losing subscribers part) but it’s starting to build back up and I don’t regret the change. Heading over to subscribe to the new site!
That’s great news, Jan. I don’t know how often I’ll blog, but I don’t want to give it up completely. It just makes sense to have one site to maintain.
And I’m glad to provide an earworm! LOL Maybe I should put that song in a playlist for a book! 🙂
Just followed you over there, Joan. Best of luck in 2025 with your health.
Thank you so much, Pete!
Changes is a nice song. I just subscribed to your new blog location.
Thanks so much, Thomas!
