Today and Blogs

After a somewhat interesting and debatable presentation, I was glad to return to Weimar this evening.

I recommend everybody stop by “Tragically Hip or Closet Spinster?“–the new, more public, blog by Koko. I also recommend stopping by Barista Anki’s blog whilst she has escaped Weimar for Chicago–allerlandenlos, or, for those of you lacking appropriate German, try the google translation, “all landless” (Translation tool may not work…)

I’m off to bed.. and its really cold here!

    Uhhh… I can’t get Koko’s link to work. 🙁

  • MT: It seemst o work for me, you should try again. Blogger might have been down.

    It’s cold there in August? My friend you live too far north. Ever consider moving to the south of France or Spain?

  • koko

    a yay for mentioning the new blog. thanks 🙂

    MT: blogger sucks and has been on and off all week 🙁 try again tho 🙂

  • Koko – that’s the primary reason I moved my blog out of blogger and to another system. The one I’m on now is more user friendly.

    CQ- I’m interested in your thoughts on wordpress. I was on livejournal before, which I quite enjoyed but felt like it was too childish. I moved to blogger because I know many people like it a lot…but I’ve had NOTHING but problems. It won’t even let me format things the way I want to which really screwed with some of my posts. ;alksdjf;

    I’m frustrated to say the least. I’m also considering doing my own page all together.

    any thoughts on this anyone??

    Koko–

    Contact me at cynicalqueer@gmail.com

    I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have.

  • Koko- only go with your own domain and hositng if you are willing to spend the time setting up the blogging software.

    Setting up a clean MoveableType blog (what I use) can consume about an hour just doing setup. I think the MT software is free for single users now, but you’d still need to pay hosting fees. Typepad is the blog service that uses MoveableType, but you have to pay an annual fee for that instead of the hosting fees.

    There’s a new version of MT out so the plugins for it are limited at the moment. I’m hoping to add more functionality to the blog soon, including skins, but I might have to seek help with that.

    cq-i’ll be emailing you shortly

    adam-I have been suggested bluehost.com if i were to do my own domain. I won’t do it until I know I have the time to spend on setting it up the way I like. A friend of mine uses bluehost and wordpress for her domain and really enjoys it. If I end up moving from blogger i’ll have to spend time setting up anyway.

    thanks 🙂

  • Wow I like the new header and yes I will be checking the blogs you recommend

  • MT

    Got it to work. 😉
    I have my own domain, but that’s because I set it up before I ever started blogging. I never updated my MT – I still use the 2.X version. It might be boring, but hey, it works.
