It's been a while since I blogged. I'm sorry.

Well, I say it's been a while, but actually, I've been hard at work, working for you dear reader, to bring you a better blog experience!

Sound like Marketing bullshit? Well, it's not!

Despite my finally fixing the archive problem with Blogger, I'm evaluating blogging alternatives. I'm even looking at services you have to pay for, as blogging seems to be for me!

Currently, I'm trialling the blogging software and services at Radio Userland. Boy is it convoluted compared to Blogger! The basic posting is straightforward enough, but there are so many features and services to consider. I'm keen to use a system that allows me to blog offline, and automatically keeps a copy of everything locally.

You Too Can Bore People Rigid
If you're thinking of starting a blog, Blogger is a good place to start. It's free, and foolproof. Another option is Live Journal. This is free, if you can get an activation code from an existing member, or you can pay (which gets you a few more features). If you pay, then let the account lapse, it becomes a free account with (only slightly) reduced features.

Anyway, I'm still testing out Radio Userland's blogging service and software, and will evaluate other options as they arise.

*which is a massive exaggeration, but it was the best song title I could think of, without spending more than 30 seconds on it.
