I received the email below today. In short, it says that AOL will be shutting down their AOL Journal sites as well as their Hometown sites (which is where my other sites are).
Due to this, I will try to let you know where all future postings will happen.
I almost hit 3000 on my hit counter! It makes me sad.
Dear AOL Journals user,
We’re sorry to inform you that on Oct. 31, 2008, AOL® Journals will be shut down permanently. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
It’s very important that you save your Journals content before the shutdown. We're working on a way to easily move your Journal to another blogging service -- you can expect an email within the next week with more details about how to do it. We want the transition to go as smoothly as possible for you, so you’ll have two choices. You can either save your information manually and find another place to blog on your own, or choose to automatically transfer your Journal to a different blogging service we’ve selected.
In the meantime, please bookmark the People Connection Blog, where you can find out more about AOL Journals. You can also subscribe to the People Connection Blog RSS feed to stay informed about any changes. We’ll be updating the People Connection Blog often, so please check it regularly.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make this transition.
Sincerely,
The AOL Journals Team

My son is one of those big shots at AOL who makes these kinds of decisions. Because I am also big user of the Journal I will probably have to disinherit him immediately. Michael
