Blogger Beta Blues

So the Blogger beta finally became available to those of us posting via FTP and I decided to “upgrade”. Unfortunately, I realized too late that all of Blogger’s new “functionality” is strictly geared toward those posting to blogspot accounts and is actually more of a liability for those of us with blogs hosted elsewhere. I won’t go into the reasons why; suffice it to say they are manifold.

The worse news? There’s no way to go back.

So, now I’m looking at converting the entire blog to WordPress. I’m positive that this will be a Good Thing™ in the long run, but I’m having a bit of trouble figuring out how to import my posts while keeping all the URL’s the same; thus ensuring that all the links (internal and external) will still work.

So, anyway, if I don’t update for awhile, or things get all screwy-looking; that’s probably why. I’m hoping to make the switch sometime during the upcoming week, or at least make serious progress in that direction.

Wish me luck!
