When the original efx2 officially fell to the ground, members were scattered all over the blog world and slowly one by one started to emerge from the ruins and build a new home some place, somewhere.Recently, the brand new efx2 has come to life and the once close knitted efx2 community has begun its rebuilding phase. I could see more and more members have started to build their new home at that new world and some are even ready to welcome guests to their homes. Some circles of friends built during the efx2 era are now being re-established. It is really interesting to see all of these things taking shapes and pieces coming together within a short span of time.
However, some questions remain. Do you want to have a single home or another one for backup? Do you want to join the new efx2 or remain where you are? If you are going to update more than one place, which one would be the main?
While waiting for the new efx2, new homes were built on Blogger, Wordpress, and may be some other worlds out there. Some actually moved back to the homes that they left behind when efx2 was in its heyday and started to renovate them in order to be as comfortable as it was in efx2. It goes to show that efx2 was really a special place to all who have called it home.
We are one of those "homeless" who took refuge at Blogger and have done a lot to make this place a home. May be we would be a few that would make this home as our main home while still taking a space at the new efx2 for the sake of the community. Within our circle of friends, Elisa and Mamarawks for example, have created their new places at efx2blogs.com and looks like they are updating both. These women have lots of stamina! There are some that have gone ahead with their wordpress.com homes such as, Oflionandbear and Rotidua.
As for us. we have asked for our space and waiting for the confirmation. Chances are, we would be posting at both sites. However, I, the Bear, personally prefer Blogger to Wordpress due to the fact that Blogger allows customizations on the template and therefore, many things can be added easily. Whereas, at Wordpress, customization is limited and it is quite difficult even to have a simple thing such as a shoutbox.
May be one day, Keith, the King of efx2 would come up with many of the luxuries that we used to have at the old place. This guy is really awesome for putting lots of personal efforts to ensure that the efx2 community remains alive! We shall wait and see what he would come up with in the future.
Anyway, wherever you are does not really matter. What matters is that we would all homes to be at and for friends to come around for a cup of cyber-tea and cyber-biscuits. Let us all keep in touch and have a great blogging time together!

setuju!! blogger have a good customization features and supporting most of free widget out there.. its so many free widget and its up to you to choose which best for your house...
But I love efx2 its like pulang ke kampung halaman feelings.. blogspot is like my other home in metropolitan city.. either or have a pron and cons .. I will try to ensure will update both of them...
setuju... efx2 is like a nice little kampung where everyone knows each other... but without the visitor list in the new efx2, somehow the kampung feeling is a bit missing there... hopefully keith would do something about that...
err, since i am apparently one of the last one to set up a new home, i am going to use the kampung baru yang dibuka as my main one but still using the blogger as my back-up. but who knows, my city dwelling could prosper more than my little backwater town place kan?
i see... so what is your address in the city? our kampung address is still not approved yet. waiting for the confirmation from datuk penghulu keith..
Waah banyaknya list friends awak. Soalannya mana awak nak komen kalau saya punya blog. Most likely isinya sama sahaja. Tapi maybe like before malay entries saya buat kat blogspot sahaja. tengoklah.
tulah i need the visitor listlah. sebab macam lonely lak duduk kat ulu kampung tu. Pastu tak tau pun orang dah update ke belum. malas nak buat rss kat situ. nak yang otomatik punya.
tu la pasal lollies... belum sempat fikir pun yang mana nak komen... may be i komen satu tempat and diah komen lagi satu tempat arr...
yang automatic tu kena tunggu atuk penhgulu kampung, keith, buat la... kalau dia dapat buat la kaann....
