Question of the day

Posted in:

• Illinois

Blogger is mega screwed-up yet again today. I’m totally sick of dealing with these incompetent morons and seriously considering moving to another service.

Suggestions?

1. The nerds will claim MT, but the content manager that I use is wonderfully easy and powerful.

   However….I haven’t figured out how to write in the code for ‘trackbacks’….

2. I’ve been looking into Typepad:

   It’s just under $50/year but it might be worth it.

3. Perhaps taking this blog down and never speaking of it again would be the best option?

4. I use Wordpress and my own domain. Not too hard to set up and any problems are usually mine.

   ISP is http://www.bgfweb.com/main/

5. I’m talking to Rhodes’ guy today. We’ll see what it looks like, but I’m leaning that way.

6. I know the Cross guys like 1871, but the RSS funkiness it generates makes it a non-starter for me. Standards work when they’re implemented well, and all I get with Cross’s feed is a headline (no content, no links).

   As for Trackbacks, it’d be nice if the spammers would just stay away. I just think MT is a strong, viable platform that is built to scale, a database backend that makes it robust (and fast), and has hundreds of extensions that let you tweak it in interesting ways.

   As for “the nerds will claim MT”, I will punish Chris/Jake for that comment this evening at the lawyer/blogger dinner…
