A Fond Farewell

After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to bring Words of Wisdom to an end. It has been an honor to meet so many deserving Bloggers of Note and other wonderful bloggers of substance. However, interest in WOW has been waning in recent months and we are also finding it more and more difficult to maintain the level of commitment it takes to run it.

We have truly enjoyed our time as WOW's administrators. We sincerely hope, that through participation in WOW, you have found other like minded bloggers of substance. If so, we feel we have achieved our main goal.

Best of luck to you all as you continue your journey in the blogosphere. We are so pleased to have taken a small part of that journey with you.

  8. Oh, I'm sorry to hear this, too! But I totally understand the time and work it takes to keep something like this going. I, also, have met some wonderful bloggers through WOW. I'm pretty sure that 2 or 3 of them left comments before me! Best of everything in 2011! (PS I think the waning in recent months was due to the holiday crunch!)

  10. Pam and Sandy, thank you for all your work! I look forward to continuing to visit this site to check out some of the wonderful recommendations here. One year's worth of collecting has offered years of recommendations. I hope you will plan to leave this blog up! It is a wonderful blog library, and so much fun to visit. Thank you and thank you!

    You guys have done a great job, and I have appreciated the effort (even though I'm one of the ones who didn't participate as much as I should have.) Best luck with 2011.

  14. Pam and Sandy, I admit I was remiss in keeping up with the BON. I know you both brought to light so many blogs and brought others together.
    I'll be following you each as always, take care.

  15. Pam and Sandy, thanks for creating such a great network. I, too, hope you'll keep the site available as an archive for people to explore. Like so many others, I found a lot of interesting bloggers here. Eventually it became hard to keep up!

  22. I was shocked and sad to read this... but I can't blame you... it's hard enough keeping up one blog - let alone one in which you need to work with other bloggers... I admire what you've done and what you've accomplished. I thank you for the connections I have made because of your site and for the honor of being a BON.... I will sincerely miss your site! :(

    Love and Hugs to you both - Sandy and Pam!

  27. Pam and Sandy,

    I just read your post with sadness. I have enjoyed your site and was thrilled to be able to be one of your first BON's. I can't imagine the work it is keeping up with this endeavor but you did a fantastic job! I will stay in touch through your individual sites and remember fondly all the great blogs I have found through you two. Now and in the future, many, many, Blessings!
