I'm very sad. This is the end of an era. Although I had partially moved my blogging to Posterous two years ago I still always held a weak spot in my heart for Blogger and all the great people I've "met" here. Posterous gave me the ability to forward my posts from there to here so I stayed connected. Unfortunately Posterous is shutting down next month. For 8 years The Phil Factor has been here with this very same template. After 8 years however I am realizing a dream by finally publishing my blog and information about my writing at my new site at: thephilfactor.com If you're one of my old blogger friends please stop by my new page and leave a comment so I can still follow you.
