Taking a short break
I run my blog through Blogger, uploaded via FTP to my own site. Recently, Google announced they will be turning off that facility. The "better option" Google proposes is running my blog off of a custom domain. Doing so would destroy every other page I have on this site, and mean I can't run my podcast (also a Blogger blog) on the same site.
So, I'm voting with my feet and moving to Wordpress. This will take a little while to achieve, and so I'm not going to post any more until after the move. Those of you who have subscribed via RSS and email shouldn't be disrupted: I run my feed through Feedburner, so the RSS feed will remain the same.
IN a sense, this provides a solution to another problem that had cropped up - that I was in imminent danger of losing my Haloscan comments (which cannot be exported to Blogger). These are easily ported across to Wordpress, so there will at least be continuity in comments.
With work, and various writing projects, I don't have a lot of spare time at the moment, so bear with me while this goes on, but I'm hoping to be moved by the end of February at the latest.
Cheers everyone.
