Blogger rant

I'd blog this but blogger ate my template.

I couldn't figure out why my blog wouldn't load so I looked at my template and it was half gone. So I replaced it with a backup and since it was one I was working on a new template design on it's all wonky now.

 

Sorry I just needed to blog vent.

 

Who uses Moveable Type?

How easy/hard is that to get used to?

Sorry you're having troubles Kari. I noticed earlier that your blog was a little ummm blank. {{hugs}} Good Luck!

 

Edited to add...

 

Thanks for posting this bc I'd never thought about creating a backup for my template! I just did it and feel much better now lol.

I used to backup every week... when I was making lots of changes but hadn't recently so I got complaicent and didn't the back up I have on there is from Nov.

 

It's a good idea to back it up every so often. (Even if blogger doesn't eat it)

Who uses Moveable Type?

I have a journal that uses Moveable Type, and it's not bad but I prefer Wordpress, which I started using for the crochet blog. I'm thinking of switching the journal over to it, but keep going back and forth on that because I haven't had the time to mess with exporting everything and getting things set up the way I want.

 

A lot of people really like Movable Type, though, and I haven't actually tried the newest version, where they might have fixed the things that irritate me the most (like how there's no way in the MT interface--in the version I have anyway--to manage plugins). But I decided to try out Wordpress when I started the crochet blog, and I really like it and find it easier to use.

 

Edited to add another link--if you're interested, here's a site where you can play around with a demo installation of Wordpress to see what it's like to use: wordpress demo

Thanks, I actually HAVE MT but have yet to understand the thing! (Which is something in itself)

I'll look into WordPress thanks again!

sorry, kari, i'm zero help on this sort of stuff!

 

i'm sad some of your hard work was eaten

[kariholtz]

Awww Thanks, although I was getting tired of the layout anyway and was comtemplating change hehe I just didn't want to lose what I had....

 

This is where I am right now. IF I can ever figure out PHP:bang enough to edit the files and make my own design I'll probably end up staying with this one. I do like the posting aspect of it. (and it's free and already installed with my host)
