Public Service Announcement.
Mood:  irritated
Topic: Rants
A little Jewish bird from New Jersey pointed out to me today that my Comments thingy is again possessed by Satan and, apparently, a black hole, because it has been eating comments and otherwise spewing hate into the Universe. I hesitate to say anything uncharitable about Tripod because they, after all, have got hold of my blog. However, I can and will say that the chronic evil manifested by my Comments is testing me to my very limits.

Lovely AB Chao is too busy fixing Miss Doxie right now to help me. Miss Doxie's blog takes priority over my blog because she has so many things I don't -- readers, for example. Anna Beth is up to her ass in alligators, which leaves me rather high and dry. There are many problems with being as old as I am, and one of them is that none of your realspace friends know dick about blogging. Therefore the following cry for help:

If you, or someone you know, can fix me up with a better place to keep my blog -- I mean, migrate it, without losing my Tripod entries -- which will have Comments which are not evil but which is still simple enough to be used for blogging by a total idiot, viz me, and where I can keep my domain name, please send that person my way. I would offer some sort of compensation for their services, possibly consisting in whole or in part of services of my own. And just for the record, you know: That doesn't include oral. Sorry.

My Comments thingy, however, is not sorry. Not sorry at all.

A glutton for punishment I am, trying yet again to post a comment (if this one actually posts, what an ass I will look like). It just kills me to see all those little 0s in your comments section when you are so loved, so I will keep trying...

Someone please help the lady out!

Have you ever tried Wordpress? I know you can import entries there..

www.wordpress.org

and it's -very- easy to install, five minutes tops.

I have no advice or hosting support to offer - sorry - but just had to comment on the remark you made about none of your realspace friends knowing about blogging. Did I write that? I swear, I've even tried to sell some lifelong friends on it so I'd just know what they were up to, and no one even responds. I think they're afraid.

All I know is that my site is hosted by Dreamhost (and if you do a search for a coupon online, you can find one for $90 off, which makes it come to about $21 for a year!) and I think you can transfer your domain name pretty cheaply too. Also, I use WordPress as my software. And I love it. And it's free.
