Hello, Lilting House Readers

November 16, 2007 @ 2:57 pm | Filed under: Blog

As I announced at Lilting House today, I’m retiring from that blog and shifting back to posting all my content here at Bonny Glen. All the Lilting House posts I’ve written can be accessed at the new Lilting House Archive.

Lilting House itself will remain up through the end of the year. Comments are open on all posts in the archive, and I’ll be continuing various Lilting House review series right here at Bonny Glen. I’m excited to have everything all in one place again. Um, that is, everything except for the breadbaking posts and our daily learning notes.

If you’ve been a Lilting House reader, thank you so much for your support. I hope you’ll stick around…there is much to discuss here!

Oh, one more note—if you have linked to a Lilting House post and would like to update the URL (since all current Lilting House permalinks will become broken after the first of the year), here’s how to do it. If the permalink looks like this—

http://liltinghouse.clubmom.com/the_lilting_house/2006/10/ my-rule-of-six.html

—simply replace the

liltinghouse.clubmom.com/the_lilting_house part of the URL

with

melissawiley.typepad.com/liltinghouse

so that the URL reads:

http://melissawiley.typepad.com/liltinghouse/2006/10/my-rule-of-six.html

That URL should take you to the correct post. The dates need to remain the same. Email me if you have trouble!

    I’m so glad this will still be your home base - concentrated Melissa Wiley - how fun! It will probably be less time consuming for you.

  2. Christine M says:

    I love reading what you write, no matter where you post it - I’m sure it will be much easier for you - you won’t have to figure out which blog to post things to!

  3. Jo says:

    Judging from your profile picture, you are an amazing mother and you have your children’s hearts! Its always a pleasure to find fellow homeschoolers in the blogosphere!
    Keep at it… its worth everything!

    I read both your weblogs so it will be easier to just come to one. I know too how time consuming having more than one site can be, so I’m glad you’re paring it down - you may have time to write more, and we can get more of your wisdom!

  5. Beth says:

    I want to say Welcome Home, though that’s not exactly accurate of course! I’m glad you were able to keep the Lilting House archives.

  6. Fe says:

    Thanks for the reminder to update links! I read the post at Lilting House and thought ‘no worries… I read via feed, it doesn’t affect me at all) then read this and thought ‘whoops!’

    I _would_ have had some broken links—and then not been able to find the information I was _sure_ I’d noted:-) I find useful so much of what you write:-)

Be Like the Bird


Be like the bird
Who, pausing in flight
On limb too slight,
Feels it give way beneath her,
Yet sings,
Knowing she has wings.

—Victor Hugo
