THINKING OF LEAVING BLOGGER/BLOGSPOT? Here are some thoughts on different platforms.
The complaints about the difficulty of installing Movable Type may be on-target. I wouldn’t know because Stacy Tabb helped me with it and made the whole move virtually painless. But the MT folks will install it on your server for a token fee, and some hosting companies will do that, as part of their package. (I think Bloggerzone does).
I still think that for people who are just starting a blog the Blogger/Blogspot combination is a great way to start. But once you’re up and running and have decided to get serious, the notion of shifting to something else becomes more appealing.
