As you’ll notice The Gay Gasp has a new look and that is due to a
change in blog platforms. Until now I have always used Google’s Blogger
as my blog platform and for the most part I was very pleased with the
service. Unfortunately they just announced that starting on March 23
they are changing their policies with regard to nudity. Nudity and
sexually explicit images will no longer be permitted in Blogger. While
The Gay Gasp isn’t primarily centered around nudity, I loathe the idea
of eliminating it just because they tell me too. This forced me to make
some decisions. First I thought about simply complying with their rules
and removing all sexual images and continuing my blog in an edited PG-13
form. While I would still be able to talk about sex I wouldn’t be able
to actually show it. I really didn’t like this option as I said because I
don’t like the idea of someone else telling me what I can and can’t
post. If I remove Joe’s Spank Me Time I want it to be my
decision not theirs. Second I strongly considered just ending The Gay
Gasp all together. I wondered if this was a bigger sign that things were
changing and it was time for me to call it quits. There are moments
when I have trouble coming up with new material and blogging can feel
more like a burden. However the more I considered that option the more I
came to the conclusion that I haven’t gotten everything out of my
system yet and it’s not time to say goodbye. It was at this point that I
came to my senses and realized I could just move everything over to
another blog service with more liberal policies. So after some tinkering
behind the scenes, The Gay Gasp will now be brought to you by WordPress.
(And yes they allow nudity)
To most of my readers this will have little to no impact on your
viewing habits. However to those of you who follow me though through Blogger unfortunately you will no longer be able to do so. That’s the only thing I
can’t replicate. Sorry to those loyal readers.But all of my new and past posts will still be found at
thegaygasp.com so add me to your favorites and remember to give me a visit.
To conclude, I’ll continue to write The Gay Gasp and hopefully you’ll continue to enjoy it.
