It's been okay but it's not as user friendly as blogger...except for posting photos....that is easier. My friend Fred from Fragmentsfromfloyd.com just switched to beta blogger from moveable type.

The tags are fun but other than that, it's not much different as far as I can tell. Except that when I go to leave a comment, I need to sign in first and then make my comment, otherwise it is completely lost when I do sign in and I must needs re-type it entirely, which is just annoying. It should either stop losing my comments or else ask me to sign in first. Dammit! Is it too much to ask!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1168792421538056672007-01-14T11:33:00.000-05:002007-01-14T11:33:00.000-05:00Really?

No offense but 346 is wussy compared to some of the "daily" bloggers out there who have been at it for years. <BR/><BR/>Should I consider myself lucky that I was able to convert? One point worth noting - the 240 posts that I converted took between 6-8 hours to finish. I was very nervous that it was frozen or something and that I was going to lose my kingdom. Fortunately, I went through the painful process of copying and saving all of my html source for every post beforehand just in case it didn't come out the other side alive.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately the new Blogger is a lot nicer. You do have tags, the pictures seem to upload without issue and it doesn't perform that stupid republish function every time you post an entry. Now, the posts are published as soon as you save them.<BR/><BR/>Good luck. If you have the time and patience, I'd rattle their cages a little bit. You shouldn't have to be hung out to dry over 346 posts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
