Remember me Eggsy Pony?

 

It has been a long time hasn't it?

We appear to have taken an extended sabbatical from this blog, but now we're here to make amends with regular blog posts for your perusal. 

What's prompted this action?

Well it's pretty much to do with Twitter / "X" again. 

Recently we've had difficulty posting, several of our followers have also had the same problems. Sometimes it won't let us comment, sometimes it won't let us post having apparently reached our "daily limit" when we haven't actually posted in 24 hours. And the other day we couldn't even get onto to "X" because apparently:

"Some privacy related extensions may cause issues on x.com. Please disable them and try again"

That was on the rather ancient mobile we use, currently we are able to post via the also rather ancient laptop. 

Once again we were back to trying to figure out how to offer a honest connection with everyone who is interested in Eggsy Pony. Returning to good old fashioned blogging, using a free well established service like Blogger, seemed to be a good option, it certainly worked well when we first rescued Eggsy.

Blogger does offer a "Follow" option, a button that you can click so you can add Eggsy Pony and Friends blog to your reading list and stay updated with new posts. Just need to figure out how to add it.

And another advantage is that we don't have to contend with the social media algorithms or the endless advertisements! 

We're not abandoning Eggsy's social media, you'll still be able to find his posts on:

Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/eggsyponyandfriends where Eggsy writes The Eggsy Pony Diaries several times a week there isn't a paywall on his account, it's entirely free to read, though of course he is always very grateful for a coffee. 

"X" formerly known as Twitter: https://x.com/eggsypony

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eggsypony

Bluesky: @eggsypony.bsky.social 

Eggsy also continues to send the occasional newsletter via Substack  https://eggsypony.substack.com

So that's about it for the first blog post in a very long time, not exactly horsey this time but we will be back with some horsey stuff very soon.
