Thanks so much for at least having an insight to the problems going on, Maria and Emma, and thanks Maria, for your offered help, but the help is such that it is a case of knowing what do do to migrate...finding a new home such as msn is actually a lost cause, especially with this time pressure being applied.

Emma, you have hit just the nail on the head....two weeks ago,

we had three months and a fornight later, it has to/should be done as soon as possible.

Choosing a new home is not an easy task when even amongst we here... we are not keen on the options.

 

I have short-listed three places and would actually use Freewebs 'if' I could get an answer to 'Do they have a migration program/tool in place?' 

The three options I have in mind are Multiply, Yuku or Aimoo, but as you say, all are glorified blogging sites, but Multiply and Aimoo are the two who definately can do the migration...am still reading conflicting comments about Yuku.

Wherever bbc poetry corner goes, the contents will be saved and in tact and we can keep it going until the time when another solution can be uncovered in less haste...I am finding the timing element of twelve weeks to go, now being 'essencially iminent' only two weeks later, somewhat 'back against a wall' and I don't work well that way, and as you say, Emma...I don't like being pushed either, but c'est la vie, it seems, thanks both for your input, Zy xx
