Had Enough

Too many bugs and slow server response--those are my complaints about using Blogger for this weblob. For the most part, it's okay, but when those annoying problems happen, no matter how infrequent they may be, it simply becomes intolerable.

Granted, it's free; and they have a large user-base and, therefore, it's surprising how well the platform performs under such loads. But from the user's viewpoint, I want fast and flawless even though I'm not paying anything. Solution: Movable Type.

Movable Type will run on my server (well, not really MY server, but the remote machine on which this Web site is hosted). I'll have to install the software myself and then migrate my old posts over from Blogger. That'll take some time (which I have less and less of with my new job) and effort. But I'm going for it. Perhaps Saturday.
