wordpress

WordPress looks very cool. I am definitely switching.

I can't do it right away, since their importing tools need to catch up with New Blogger. Ironically, if I had never switched to New Blogger - which sucks for me - I could have changed over to WordPress right away. But then, if I had never "upgraded" (ha!), I wouldn't have been so frustrated and looking to get out of Blogger in the first place. But as soon as WordPress can accommodate New Blogger blogs, I'm outta here.

The amazing thing (to me) is that all the new features that Blogger is crowing about have been available on WordPress all along. The drop-and-drag dynamic template, publishing on the fly, categories, improved archiving - all of it - has all been on WordPress, there for the taking. Honestly, I don't know why I didn't realize this sooner. My host, Laughing Squid, prefers WordPress, and I should have realized there was good reason for it.

I'm beyond sick of looking at this template, which I've used since I started blogging in July 2004, but I'm going to wait and revamp all at once. If Talented Designer Guy doesn't come through soon, I'll use one of WordPress's many lovely themes and do a little customizing myself.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to be patient.
