I have set up a Twitter account for Yours Only George (a.k.a. Yogworld). The links to the newest George Michael news are automatically posted to Twitter. Follow us at http://www.twitter.com/yogworld

Here’s a quick explanation of why you couldn’t get to yogworld.com for a few days.

Yours Only George as well as my other site are located on the same server, and have been on this server for many, many years.  The web host announced that it was going to move the sites to a new server as the old one was antiquated.  As many of you know, moving sites from one server to another is usually a disaster.  When they’ve made changes like this before, it’s always meant down time for the site. 

When they made the move, they basically didn’t connect the Yours Only George site with the domain yogworld.com.  The content was always there, but I was the only one who knew how to get to it.  I had to write to them for at least a day to make changes and get everything back to normal.  Even the mail was down during this time.

I’m sorry for the problems.  Even though I am taking a break from the site because of a new personal responsibility, I don’t have any plans to close the site.  Thanks for not giving up in trying to get to the site.

As of today, I will be on what I think is best described as a temporary leave of absence from the site.  I should be back to a regular posting schedule in 2009.  There hasn’t been anything to post recently so I don’t think you’ll see much of a difference.

If there is something of major importance (new tour dates, new CD), please put “URGENT” in the subject of your e-mail, and I will post it as soon as I can.  Please do not write to me about anything that is unrelated to new George Michael news; you will not receive a response.

Thank you.

On June 1, 2008, Yours Only George celebrated its 11th birthday. It’s a bittersweet celebration for me as it occurs just at the time George Michael is starting his first tour in the U.S. for 17 years and I’m not going to see him.  It’s the end of a dream for me as I now know I’ll never see him perform live again and I’ll never have the chance to meet him.  It’s a dream I’ve had for 23 years … since 1985. Of all the goals and dreams I’ve ever had, I suppose this was the most illogical and unachievable one on the list.  But it still saddens me that it’s over.

I’d like to thank all of the regulars who keep visiting day after day. I know I haven’t been very good about keeping up with the site lately in terms of news, links, and mail, and I do apologize.

I also have to thank Shannon, who was the driving force of Yours Only George, dating back to the 80s. Without her, I don’t know what I’d do.

And of course, I would like to thank George Michael.  George, your music in the last few months has kept me sane through a difficult time.  Thank you for not forgetting your U.S. fans.

Welcome to the new George Michael news section of Yours Only George.

I have been hesistant to move the current George Michael News Flash page to the blog format because the current news page gets more traffic than any page on the site, including the home page.  However, I’m hoping that a blog format will make it easier for everyone to find information on specific topics as well as provide an area for thoughtful (but moderated) conversation.  The George Michael news blog is available at https://www.yogworld.com/blog

I have tried to set the blog up as completely as I can but please give me a few days to tweak settings.

I hope you will all enjoy the new George Michael news format.
