A Big Step

Much as I generally like working with Blogger with my other blogs, having my own domain name of http://www.thespiritmovedme.com/ doesn't seem to be working very well.  I have over 625 entries to this blog having had it for several years.  It also takes forever and a day to do the FTP publishing.  However, things are about to change.  After having received in my email a notification that as of sometime in March my blog will explode at Blogger (or whatever technical term is required...explode worked for me) I needed to busy my non-geeky self to fix things.  This I tried for 2 days.  Confusing is the word.  Reach somebody at Blogger for help?  No.  Do I need to spend more time on this?  No. 

So, I joined up with Moveable Type via my hosting service at Pair.com  It's only $2.95 a month.  I am hoping that I will be able to migrate most, if not all, of my blog over there.  If not I have copies of everything on my server.  Or, I could write a couple of books with all the material that I've compiled and start fresh.  So, lots of options.  Nothing I would have actually embarked upon without that threatening action from Blogger.  And, I never did trust that I got the page attention from Google that my site deserved having it under the Blogger name. 

So, we'll see. I hardly expect anybody at Blogger to say goodbye to me.
