Well, gang, we did it. We made it to 500 posts about Barley on this daily blog (in addition to 84 posts about Juniper), which means I can finally deploy The Joke Post Title to mark the occasion. In that time, many of you following her adventures on cohost have said nice things about this dear creature, who would love you immediately if you met her (and already does if you already have).

At the time of this posting, a week from today will be the final day that new Barley content appears on cohost. However, it will not be the end of her story! As many of you already know, Barley’s adventures will continue, much as they have until now, on her dedicated Neocities page. To mark the occasion, I have made an 88x31 button that I invite people to use to link to her adventures.

Her page also includes an RSS feed, so you can be notified of each post as it arrives. Those of you already reading this post on her new site may not be familiar with RSS. It’s worth looking into! I’m using Feeder at the moment, but there are many other RSS readers out there. As the 2010s model of social media continues to fragment and disintegrate, why not reacquaint yourself with reading blogs?

One additional note: I plan on rebuilding the entirety of Barley’s posting history on her new page, but that will take time that I don’t currently have. As such, if you do subscribe to Barley’s RSS feed, I apologize in advance for the notifications you will be receiving as I fold hundreds of old posts back into the timeline, dated to their original release. Just mark her feed as read and move on. (Or, perhaps, check out some of her older posts!)

I’ll be including the button linking to Barley’s new feed above on the remaining cohost posts, which I promise is as close to having ads as Barley’s adventures will ever come. Thanks again for joining me on this journey for the last 500 (plus 84!) days.
