Saturday, April 01, 2006 - The Extended Tech Issue Post

Here's why I'm on Blogspot: As some of you know, there was an extended period of time where I didn't have full functionality on my blog, which I was hosting myself. Comments didn't get emailed to me, the RSS feed wasn't updated and new posts never appeared on the main page, necessitating some cut and paste work from the archives. When I'd finally become too frustrated to deal with it anymore, I wrote up a post that I was leaving the blog world. That, of course, published perfectly, and my blog has been fully functional ever since.

Until last night. Same issues as before. This time, instead of waiting for things to work themselves out (because who knows how long that will take), I've just decided to move things over to Blogspot. Sure, I'll probably have to deal with Blogger's notorious downtimes, but at least I won't have to deal with all the external hosting issues, and since I'm not moving to a different platform, I can still keep my groovy template.

Anyhow, I'm hoping to move my archives over to this site as well, since it'd be nice not to have to start from scratch, but I'm not exactly sure how to do that. In the meantime, since I just cut and pasted my template from the externally-hosted blog to this one, let me know if you find any functionality issues (ie. broken links and that kind of stuff).

And don't forget to update your links/bookmarks.
