Blogger is becoming more and more unstable, so I’m mirroring my Blogger knitting blog over here at WordPress, in preparation for the day when Blogger Classic blows up completely, and the folks at Blogger Support throw up their hands and quit in frustration. There are days when it seems as if that’s what they’ve already done. I know I’m about ready to do so. Day after day, recently, there have been issues with Blogger Classic, and when one checks the Blogger Status page, every post ends with the annoying sentence, “this is not affecting Blogger Beta”. So I’m guessing that Blogger has the same amount of staff now divided and supporting two different platforms, which is not good for the old platform that 90% of us are still using.
I have to say I’m fairly impressed with how easy it was to import my entire blog over here. Now I need to figure out all the other widgets.
I’m not sure if or when I’ll move completely to WordPress. There are many things in my blogger sidebar that I need to figure out how to recreate here. And I’m not all that impressed with the photo uploading capabilities here, and that is key. If they make it even more cumbersome than Blogger, then why should I move?
So, for now, this is just a back-up for the inevitable day when Blogger Classic dies a horrible death before all of us have safely migrated to Blogger Beta. That day may come sooner than we think.
