Blogger has decided to nix FTP support, which leaves me in a little bit of a jam. I’m forced to choose between the following:
- Hosting my site through Blogger and going through a bunch of technical ballyhoo to get things like images working
- Migrating my existing blogs to WordPress…and going through a bunch of technical ballyhoo to get things like images working
- Cutting the old blog loose and making a fresh start here at WordPress, essentially leaving my old blog in stasis at the Blogspot address and forwarding my domain to this new dealie
Option 3 is the most attractive, of course, because I am reluctant to involve myself in technical ballyhoo. Also, I am lazy. Not to mention the fact that a fresh start might do me some good. The old digs have been feeling a little, well, old lately. I’m a guy who likes to change things around every now and again.
Off I go.
I should note that there is the added advantage of having both of my blogs in one convenient location. My mind is all but made up. The next step is to choose a theme and figure out how much, if any, customization will need to be done.
