Blog changes coming

Speaking of dilatory, the pace of blog posting has fallen off of late, hasn't it? There are some reasons for this. For one thing, I've been spending time recently doing winter chores, digesting flytes, following up on other web-related pursuits, catching up on domestic and mundane duties, etc. For another, I haven't been inspired to write much; perhaps just running out of things to say. Only so many ways to frame the argument that pro-lifers ought not fund the very thing they regard as murder.

A third reason is that this blog will soon have to undergo a technical alteration. In a few weeks, Blogger will no longer support ftp publishing, which is how this blog has been published up until now. The following options are available:

1. I could migrate this blog away from "prolifestrike.org/blog" to a Blogger-owned server. This would leave the blog intact, but screw up any bookmarks, etc. Notwithstanding Blogger assurances, this option seems to have great potential for headaches during the transition.

2. Switch to Wordpress or other blog publishing facility. Same potential for headaches.

3. Close the blog. Visitors could still read the blog articles and their comments, but could not post new comments, and no new articles would be added. Am leaning toward this option.

4. Do my own publishing, sans Blogger, Wordpress, or any third-party software. Transition headaches as above, but no threat of future third-party hurdles. Comments would be via an amateurish, homegrown facility similar to the site's "Contact" page feedback form. Could employ this option right away, or at some future time after choosing option 3.

Meanwhile, normal Blogger comments are still working. So, if anyone cares to weigh in on this, feel free to leave a comment.

NOTE: Assuming option 3 or 4, at some point in March 2010 you may no longer be able to post comments to this or earlier blog articles in the normal Blogger fashion. You may always use the "Contact" page form to offer any feedback.

NOTE 2 (posted March 8, 2010): Blogger has extended the cutoff date to May 1, 2010. I plan on making the necessary changes here sometime before that.
