Gone to Wordpress

I just got the memo : Wordpress obsoletes Blogger.

Most of the blogs I read regularly moved to Wordpress long ago. For some reason I stuck with Blogger for 114 of my wordy, graphic, painful posts (to write). Blogger’s editor is so rife with bugs that I switched to writing directly in HTML earlier this year. At least post previews sort-of worked.

To make the change all the more dramatic, Wordpress imports your entire Blogger blog automagically – text, formatting, images, categories, comments and all. The conversion was essentially perfect, I had to retouch a handful of posts only because I had abused blockquotes. If Blogger had an import feature, it would be a text box where you can re-type them.

Welcome to Wordpress:
