So they are closing the blogging sight. A shame I found it a nice thing todo .So I will continue to write under this thread. Unless it proves to be too difficult.

The forum you have started your thread in can be viewed by non members, it will also be included in a Google search by anybody.
You could restrict viewing to members by placing your thread in the Members' Area forum, best place would be the Tea Room http://forum.alzheimers.org.uk/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=44
where several members have their personal threads which are more like blogs (web logs) than a discussion.
