The Death and Birth of a Blog

Well, something strange and sad has happened to the original Wade Bradford blog. I can’t post anything else on it. I’ve tried to fix it, but it’s just become this static entity. I can’t add a blog post, nor can I edit or change existing blogs.

This is probably because the blog was built in a relatively ancient version of WordPress.

Oh well, if you’d like to read archives from my earlier blog (and I don’t know why you’d bother) you can follow this link…

So, I’ve decided to continue on my blogging with this particular blog. It used to be called “Magnificent Failures.” This blog was intended to be a place where I would whine about my many literary failures. Or, if not failures, they were projects that I’ve been tinkering with for far too many years. However, a couple things have happened to prevent that blog from blooming.

I just didn’t spend much time working on it. There’s an interesting post — the first one — about one of my first stories when I was a kid. But after that, I didn’t do much with the idea. And then, about six months ago, I discovered a very amusing (and popular website) that’s all about failure. So, my thunder was somewhat stolen.

Anyway, I plan to be blogging from this web address — at least for a spell. I’ve been living a bachelor’s life this week, since the wife and kids are out of town. That means I’ve got a few days to write plays, tinker with blogs, and brainstorm the next great American novel. (Or at least the next great picture book!)
