Housekeeping

Singing along to:

So maybe you're thinking that things look a little different around here. You're right! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have finally embraced the new Blogger layout system. I may even stick with it this time, as opposed to the other few times I've tried it, cursed a lot, and switched back within 24 hours. Long story short, Haloscan, my previous commenting system, decided they were going to start charging real cash money for a previously free internet service. That's lovely for them, but I don't pay real cash money for previously free internet services, so here I am, using Blogger's commenting system* and shiny new layouts, admiring how much better Twitter looks in my sidebar.

(While we're on the subject of boring blog housekeeping, I'm also in the process of switching my now-mostly-defunct art blog back from Wordpress to Blogger, a process I expect to be a huge pain in the buttocks. I'm probably one of the few people on the Internet who hates Wordpress, and frankly it's not worth paying for the hosting. I also have a theory that if I actually like the blog platform it uses, I'll pay more attention to it. At the very least, I won't be paying real cash money for the privilege of having it there to ignore.)

*Unfortunately, although Haloscan allowed me to export all my old comments, I couldn't find a way to import them into Blogger, so y'all's sparkling wit has been lost in the vortex. Sorry!
