This is the first time back blogging but this time not out of desire. This is actually the first post since last November and I didn't intend to create another active site of this time. This post is about the now-uncertain future of one of my former blogs, The Banana, as all photos are posted under a third-party site also owned by the parent company of Blogger, which hosts many of my blog sites.
Since tonight right around 10:15pm, I started deleting all of the photos (all of which were media entertainment-related) from this site through Picasa because Google is shutting Picasa. But very slowly. For those of you who don't know .... well I can't simply tell you completely about it but Piscasa is the place where photos that were uploaded on Blogger are also on Picasa as well. That means if you want to remove an image from your blog, you need to do so through Picasa because with that site, that image will be remove from the site directory in its entirety. For more information, please read the article from Knoij.
With the announcement of the end of Picasa - I recently found out back in Late-February when I awkwardly google 'Google' - to me, that means that I now have until further notice to delete all of the photos because after Picasa's shutdown not all photos would be translating to Google Photos. Even worse, I'll be no longer able to delete a photo when the changes happened. Yes you can still remove it from Blogger. No, that photo is still there on the web - you just have to look at the photo's URL before thinking about removing it. and then maybe ask Google to delete it permanently.
That's all I have to say about it. I want to write this post about it. In the next several days, The Banana will become a ghost-town .... just a blog with all broken photos. Yes, I'll be making a new version of it, I'll be putting my photos on my on web directory but we all have to wait until probably next year or so. At one point as of now, I have a feeling I won't be making it active this time around. Let's see what happens, but I don't want to get into detail of that situation. Anyway thank you for reading this post, and as of right now, this is the only post that I wrote this year.
