I started ... go see GEO ... some time in January of 2012 as a personal blog with mere 100+ views regarding my interests on men, fashion, celebrities, music and the arts. Not long after, it became a weekly habit with the intention to share these interests to the whole world and to open the eyes and minds of my blog-readers to the fun, interesting, quirky and rainbow-colored world of LGBT. I have to say that it has been a fun journey and learning as I was a blogger newbie when I created this.
Then one day, I got an email from The Blogger Team/Google telling me that my blog may be affected by their new policy change basically banning 'explicit' adult content from blogs. To quote, "In the coming weeks, we'll no longer allow blogs that contain sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video. We'll still allow nudity presented in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts, or where there are other substantial benefits to the public from not taking action on the content. The new policy will go into effect on the 23rd of March 2015. After this policy goes into effect, Google will restrict access to any blog identified as being in violation of our revised policy. No content will be deleted, but only blog authors and those with whom they have expressly shared the blog will be able to see the content we've made private."
So there... I have to admit, I still don't have a clear plan on this. The new policy change caught me off guard and I don't know whether I should just keep the blog private or just transfer it into a new blog platform. Honestly, it will be hard for me to stop this blog but I am not that powerful to stop Google.

Looking forward to your voices, blog-buddies.
Thanks for the fun 3 years, guys!
