I Did It!

I held out during Beta testing. Time and time again I've passed up the option to switch. Now, I've come to the point that I had enough!

If you've been on Blogger for any period of time - be thankful if you're new - you're all too familiar with the anticipation of waiting for your post to publish while the whirlygig spun round and round. And, likely, the aggravation of having something go wrong.

I lost the original version of Fear And Loathing In The Blogosphere in some inescapable archive hell! The last bout I had with Blogger not publishing due to some error not being able to recognize the file, followed by another error during publishing was the last straw.

If I'm going to continue with the project, I really only had one option. So, I did it. I switched over to the "new" Blogger!

I'm sure going back to the beginning and adding tags will not be nearly as tedious as copying and pasting posts from the old blogspot to the new. I even set the date and time when I did those to correspond with the original posts.

I never have yet been able to make the time to copy over the comments. I'm not sure if I ever will be able to put forth that effort. It's something I want to do, though, because I value the interest people have shown to write comments. Maybe I'll work on that as part of this update.

In any case, you'll be seeing the new features being implemented as we progress. Surely not all at once. But, alittle here and alittle there. It should be an interesting process.
