WHY IS MYWAPBLOG.COM BEING CLOSED?
[I]
First and foremost, I worded the post wrong when I
said MyWapBlog.com is closing “due to personal
reasons”. What I actually wanted to say is that is it
my personal decision to close MyWapBlog.com and
there is no outside force making me do that. This
was to prevent unnecessary rumors from
spreading. There are always problems and hurdles
in everything. There were many hurdles in running
MyWapBlog.com. Much more than anyone knows
but there was never a question of closing the
service down or even selling. I never, ever thought
that but in the past one year there have been
instances when circumstances have regularly been
tough and not the usual day-to-day issues or
compromises that we have to and we always live
with but something that sucks life, passion,
motivation an inspiration out of you. Throughout the
past year I have been dealing with such
circumstances and keeping hope alive, finding
solutions but in vain. The circumstances leave me
with only one choice.
Now after a year, I am 27, my whole life ahead of
me. If I don’t close the service now I am afraid I’ll
still have to close it later. I can only avoid the fate
but not completely change it. Fate will catch up with
me.
This is a job that requires that I (and everyone
involved) be passionate about it. That’s what makes
me work on adding features, reply to emails
personally; to think about different ways to solve
problems and provide new and better ways to make
blogging a joy. It is really hard to continue when I
know I cam not giving my 100%.
To all those people that think they’d be devastated
by the loss - think about my loss. I am a mature
man; I have been running the service for eight
years - longer than perhaps many of you would
have been using the internet. Don’t get me wrong - I
only want to convey that it is the single toughest
decision of my life. It will definitely impact my life
big time. But, we always look forward to a better
tomorrow.
I know my obligations, and therefore am working
hard in developing a tool to export all your articles
(posts) and possibly also categories and comments
via XML file that you can upload to Blogger and/or
and most of your posts (possibly
along with categories and comments) will be
migrated (transferred) to the new platform smoothly
and in a few hours’ time.[/I]


IS THERE NO WAY TO KEEP THE SERVICE ALIVE?
[I]
This was not a decision I took in one day. It was a
long process that extended one year. Of course, I
didn’t think about closing one year back. I have
been thinking of ways to keep running the service,
any possibility I could think of. At last I had to think
of the unthinkable. Metaphorically speaking - “When
there is nothing left To Whom It May Concern: burn,
you’ve got to put yourself on fire”. I thought not
once, twice or thrice but a thousand times.[/I]


WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO USER BLOGS ? WILL
THEY BE LOST ?
[I]
No, I am working on a tool that will allow you to
transfer your posts (and possibly categories and
comments) with the exact dates they were posted
on to other blogging platform (Blogger and
). The exact date of availability of
this tool will be provided in the subsequent posts.
Your posts will be in one or many XML files
(depending on the number of posts you have - for
example if you have 1200 posts there may be 6
XML files) that you can upload on Blogger and/or
to have your content in the new
blog. Any embedded links and pictures in the posts
will need to be manually changed, however; for
example, the images that were uploaded on
MyWapBlog.com itself.
We will also be providing URL forwarding
(redirection) system to forward your old blog URL
(old-blog.mywapblog.com) to your new URL (new-
blog..com).[/I]

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO FILES UPLOADED BY
USER ?
[I]
We will also try to provide ZIP file containing your
uploaded files (again one or many depending on the
number of files you have uploaded) that you can
later host elsewhere so that even uploaded files are
not lost.[/I]

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO USERS WHO HAVE
PAID FOR AD -FREE ( PREMIUM) MEMBERSHIP?
[I]
We will provide partial refund to users who have
paid for ad-free membership. Please contact me
with your blog URL, PayPal email via your
registered email address. Please only use the email
address registered with MyWapBlog.com blog for
contacting me.[/I]

WHEN WILL CONTENT MIGRATION (BACKUP )
TOOL BECOME AVAILABLE ?
[I]
Exact dates will be provided in the subsequent
posts.
