I'm starting to think that if I do leave Blogger (Beta or otherwise) I will get a host somewhere. But that's another thing again. Hmm..

Cheers jl. I’m starting to think that if I do leave Blogger (Beta or otherwise) I will get a host somewhere. But that’s another thing again.

Recently, for example, it's taken to not publishing posts in full. That is, if you create a post, save and continue editing, then click 'publish' at the end, it only publishes what you saved last. This seems to be a new thing with Wordpress and i've been caught more than a couple of times. Lots of expletives as you can imagine. Now, just to be save, i select and copy all my text before i click anything.<br /><br />But on the whole, i don't have any issues with Wordpress. (Now that i'm away from Squarespace, i sort of miss it. It was very good, user friendly. But i think i'm one of those people for whom the grass is always greener...)

The more I hear from people who have switched, the less I want to switch. And I know they will eventually switch everyone, which makes me wonder, would I want to stay on Blogger then? Oh well, we'll see. Best, and keep on blogging. Yea, it is pretty much turning into a very cautionary tale. The more I hear from people who have switched, the less I want to switch.

It seems like one of the first rules of running a beta project should be copious and open communication with your beta testers. What a pain!
