Here but really gone
I’m moving on. It’s time.
Disordered Times, on the other hand, isn’t going anywhere any time soon. The domain is registered through the end of 2010, so this site will continue to operate as an archive until then at the very least. After that, I’ll probably move the site to Blogger or a free WordPress account. It won’t disappear.
This site has been a fantastic experience. First off, thank you to everyone that has contributed, read and/or commented on this site. It wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun without you. I have benefitted from your insights. Second, I owe it to this site for helping me grow and change as a person since its inception in 2006. Now I have changed to the point where my interest in eating disorders has waned. I can no longer delve into the subject without feeling like I am living in the past, which I consider a good thing, but at the expense of no longer adding anything to this site. That’s not to say that the subject of eating disorders is not relevant. That’s not what I am saying at all. It is highly relevant to our food- and weight-dysfunctional culture, and the blogosphere is lucky to have more intelligent writers on the subject than I have fingers and toes.
Meanwhile, I am starting a new blog where I will be writing on bits and pieces of everything. Check out Oh, the Profanity! if you’d like to keep tabs on me. Or, if you prefer crappy posts in short form, I also write meaningless things on Twitter.
Thank you.

Awesome!! I’m totally hanging out and adding to the profanity. Well, sort of.

I know you have the profanity in you, Annie.

I visited your site few days ago. It is a pearl !(well organized, clean, mixing information and experience…written with soul!) Thanks for doing it. I am very happy that it will not disappear.
“After that[end of 2010], I’ll probably move the site to Blogger or a free WordPress account. It won’t disappear.”
I had eating disorders many, many years ago (when doctors ignored it, no books about it, anorexia ‘did not exist’) . I created few months ago a site in Portuguese (I am Portuguese) about anorexia nervosa. I hope you allow me to use (of course always with aknowlodgements) some material and ideas posted here by you.

Thanks for the compliment! Of course you can use information from this site with acknowledgment of the source. Good luck with your own site!

I’m glad you’re keeping the site around but I’m even happier for you moving on. Best of Luck hun. I’ll stop by the new site although I tend to lurk!
