Friends and long-time readers, will you follow me if I move this blog off Typepad, which is driving me progressively crazy, over to a new address? <\/p>\n
Here’s my problem. This blog has a custom design. Which means I cannot easily use ANY of the Typepad widgets to add functionality. Everything has to be done by hand. <\/p>\n
And some things don’t work too well. Like the weird narrow delicious linkroll. Why is it so narrow? Who knows. I’ve messed around for a bit and it just gets narrower. I finally had to move my Blogroll to a separate page because it became one word per line and I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. Admittedly, I did not set up my design. But still… When I mess around with my WordPress blogs, I can usually figure out what is going on. Here, not so much.<\/p>\n
So I am contemplating switching over to WordPress. I would leave the old Typepad blog up as an archive — a single user Typepad account is not that expensive — and just move forward on the new site from a cut-over date. With the flexibility of WordPress, I think we could even have a search into the old content if you wanted it. <\/p>\n
I am well aware that this move would put my rankings into the toilet, but since I don’t really care about that, the more germane issue is: Will you come with me when I move? You I care about. <\/p>\n
Should I do it or just continue to suck up the irritation that Typepad is becoming? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
