Ande's Blog is the longest running and arguably the most popular thread on the forum and should be returned to the General Swimming-Related Discussions. It is more than just a blog in that it has been highly interactive, generating a lot of discussion and addressing a wide range of swimming-related topics.
Dear Scarlett,
the thread achieved a milestone, I just pointed it out and gave folks an update,
I'm not asking for the thread to be reopened
Though I am curious if the poll results would have been different if the response choices were phrased
Should Ande's blog be returned?
Yes, return it to General Swimming-Related Discussions
No, I don't want ande to share his workouts on the USMS forum
Scarlett, I've gotten over it and moved on, I love swimming and I enjoy helping others improve
my recent workouts are blogged at:
andesswimmingblog.blogspot.com
Jim offered to move the contents of the old blog thread over to the blog section, I'm inclined to take him up on this offer as long the old thread isn't deleted or destroyed
I sometimes go back to check workouts and training results from previous seasons to compare with results of the latest season. It's helpful.
Wish you the best with your swimming.
Take Care,
Ande
Ande - With all due respect, you need to get over this.
Our loss, and yours.
True.
It was read by many, but then again, it still can be.
A copy and paste from 'Blogger' to the blog section is all it would take.
Ande,
You should take the offer, while it's still on the table. Please, I don't want to click a million different places, I like to read all the blogs, and they're all in one place. Now you're ignoring the fans that gave you the high thread count in the first place, think about it. Your Swimming Tips thread will be breaking 100,000+ views soon, even sooner if you revamp your blog. In swimming terms, you're clearly in the lead, but not if you get out of the pool.

Jim,
a while back you offered to move the contents of my shut down blog over to the blog section
is there a way to do so with out deleting or destroying the existing thread?
Ande
Hi Jim,
OK try it out
let me know
Ande
Yes, my understanding is that the migration tool isn't supposed to alter the original thread.
I did download the tools and tried to play with it a little on our test area. I didn't have any luck with them, but I really didn't spend much time on it. If you're interested, I can try it again some time. I won't do it on the live forum unless I've successfully tried it in our test area and verified that it didn't alter the old thread or do any other harm.
