That time has come…

This has not been a easy decision, but I think it is the right one.  I have decided to retire this blog.

When I started How I Met Your Blog, the show was new and exciting.  I didn’t have a whole lot happening on Monday nights and work was slow.  I had plenty of time to dedicate to the site and enjoyed working on it.  Recently you have probably noticed that all the post have consisted of new episode announcements (the day they air) and quick little comments on what I thought.  Both of those have become a chore to do and have caused me more stress than excitement.  I haven’t even seen the last two episodes, much less had time to post about them!  Things have been picking up around my life and I just don’t have the passion I had when I started.

The good news is that while I was one of the first HIMYM dedicated blogs, several new ones have sprouted up.  My new favorite one is “Have you met Ted?“  JD runs the site and is a very talented writer.  He is passionate about the show and works hard on his blog.  If you are looking to keep up with the show and aren’t familiar with his site, I certainly suggest visiting and poking around.  The other resource I would like to direct you to is the HIMYM Forum.  While I haven’t been on there in a while, it was one of the first places I used to go to to share my opinions and discuss the show.  These are the two places that I will be going for all my HIMYM gossip.

Thank you all for visiting, commenting, sending in tips, and especially all the encouragement and kind words.  It has been an absolute pleasure to get to know you and read what you think about this great show.  I would like to especially thank Cora, Jack and Voltaire for the help with the podcast.  I will be leaving the site up as a resource for fans, but this will be my last post.

I wish you all well and keep it legendary!

-Ben

    it’s a shame to hear it. this site has been “legendary” ( i had to use it at least once ) i loved checking it out every time i would watch the show.

    good luck on your endeavors

    bye

    Aw, sad news indeed. Still, I’m sure it’s for the best.

    Good luck for the future :)

  4. Cora Says:

    Awww I am sad to hear that you are shutting the site down, but I completely understand. Since last year my free time has went down the drain, but please pop in to the forum once in awhile to keep in touch, and thanks for mentioning it! and you’re welcome with the pod cast.

    Sorry to see you go man. Best of luck with your future endeavors.

  7. David Says:

    Wow….this is depressing
    man this was the very first site i discovered for HIMYM recaps and news and gossip and thought it was LEGENDARY ( i also had to use it in a sentence =P) but i eventually went on to discover have-you-met-ted and legen-waitforit.com
    still, i always enjoyed coming onto this website and reading the recaps/reviews on the latest episodes and hearing wat u had to say about it
    i speak for alot of people out there when i say “we’re gunna miss u Ben!!!”
    again this is relly sad news…
    im going to miss this website and hope u the best of luck in the future Ben!
    may the Force be with you

    Sorry I’m getting this out after the site is set to be retired…but I just found out about a charity auction hosted by Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi benefitting America’s Second Harvest and they have a HIMYM set visit package!!!!! I just bid and thought you’d all want to get in on the LEGENDARY (tax deductible) experience before the auction ends Sunday!!! you can get to it from http://www.woodbridgewines.com!

    Hey nice blog. sucks to see you won’t be posting no more. For you HIMYM fans, check out my How I Met Your Mother blog right here…

  11. Jack Says:

    I enjoyed every minute working on the podcast with you Cora and Voltaire, I find myself in a similar predicament, I am still a huge fan of the show but I no longer have the time I once had, our site we started HIMYM.org got eaten by spam. I like to think we helped get the ball rolling in the HIMYM fandom. It’s nice to see several more pop up and I am constantly coming across more and more fans, the show is headed to a good place and I loved working on the podcast, I will always have fond memories of it.

  12. Captain Cook Says:

    Aw that’s too bad, Ben. I really enjoyed reading your blog. Keep it, wait for it… wait for it… legendary bro.

  14. Maurizio Maranghi Says:

    It’s sad to see when a good blog must be retired for whatever reason. It looks like you had a good group of readers as well. I love the show, “How I Met Your Mother” and wished I had come across this blog earlier. Best of luck to you.

    Hey Ben….
    if you’re still reading this. I’ve stepped up my HIMYM game at beawesomeinstead.com
    While I still love the Awesomeness poster, I’ve been doing reviews and keeping a pretty ridiculously accurate list of all the music from the show.

    Check it out and let me know what you think.

  16. HIMYM Fan Club Says:

    Season 6 has just opened. Some of us fans still want to know who Ted’s Mother is!

    I’ve created a cool new fan club for all you HIMYM Fans out there! Let’s have some fun. Check it out at http://howimetyourmotherfanclub.com and let me know what you think.

    Cheers
    -Mark

    You shouldn’t give up your fan page… I hope you get inspired to doing more projects like this in the future.

    Sorry to see you’re going! This blog–and this show–are really incredible.
