I’m free from Blogger! I successfully migrated everything over to Movable Type. I like MT’s import feature which allowed me to bring over my entries from Blogger. It was relatively painless. But the work is not over. I have yet to configure the archive, comment and trackback pages to reflect the look and feel of the index page.
Blogger has had many outages lately, especially after midnight. (Personally, I think it’s a ploy to get us free users to upgrade to Blogger Pro, since Blogger Pro servers work fine in the same time frame!) Anyway, I can post whenever I want now, and I have a comment feature to boot!
Great. As I’m making changes to my Blogger template, I get this message: “Sorry, template editing is currently unavailable while we work on a hardware issue.” So my blog page will exhibit funkiness until this matter is resolved.
[update: this type of glitch is just annoying. While Blogger was down, I quickly installed Movable Type on my host server. I will be testing MT for the next couple of days and migrate over if everything goes well.]
