If you haven’t already read about it – Ebay is discontinuing their blogging platform October 31, 2009. Several years ago I thought about establishing a blog on their platform since I was a fairly active seller at that time, but my thoughts were that I would rather spend the time and energy working on Link and Blog and my other blogs. As all bloggers know, it takes a great deal of time to work on blog templates, cpanel maintenance, adding blog gadgets and especially writing blog posts.
If you have an Ebay blog, you may want to quickly save what you can from the blog content, and consider using the content for your own blog, and especially on your own domain. Chalk up another reason to establish and use your own domain for blogging since a blogging platform providing sub-domains for free blogs may not always be forever. Ebay blogs retiring is one good example that it can happen!
