The End Is Near

Alright, I've had about enough.

I've been waging my own personal pissing match against blogger (which doesn't affect them at all, but I'm one of those pissing in the wind type of people, so anyways) and trying to get them to take me off of the Admin for a blog. I've asked them in emails, saying if not I would take my business elsewhere. I've not been blogging, passing all these wonderful posts up that come to me as I drive through God's country, out of pride and will.

O! the posts I would've had! I would have shared with you the secret of life! You would now know some of my darkest secrets. I could have told you about giant golden eagles and bald eagles and swans and of all the wonders of the homeland! I would have regaled you with the misadventures of my life and of the craziness that it has become. And the splendid beauty - oh the spledid beauty I've seen in the simplest of objects.

But no.

My pride and Google/bloggers unhelpfulness have soured me on this. They keep pointing me to unhelpful FAQs and forums where, allegedly, some super-helpful person of the blogger staff (of the blogger staff!) is supposed to help answer questions and solve problems like mine. But to no avail. All I found was misinformation and more people like me wanting to have their permanent Admin status removed from a blog. Sounds like a reasonable request. But they these people act we're all asking for the fucking moon.

So, my pissing match goes on. Sort of. I read a blogger blog that's made me hopeful. They saved all their posts, started a WordPress blog and then uploaded them all to that. So, since blogger has shown me they could really give a flying fuck where I do my blogging, I guess it's off I go to WordPress.

And if it don't work out?

I don't know.

You can totally import both your blog and your comments to Wordpress. I would have done it a long time ago, but I've had this address for 4 years and I'm hesitant to move.

I want the new address when you do!

I've been dying to find out how to backup all my posts ... I've never used Wordpress though, don't think I even have it.

Anything else that can do that sort of thing?

NO, no, I haven't researched this on my own.

Sorry Red, but if you do move YOU HAD BETTER share the addy!!!!

And I thought eagles were *yawn* to your people?!?

You know, you're totally picking blogger fight over blogger friends.

*flipping the bird*

heheheheheheh, the bird? now that's the spirit! yeah!

I've been thinking this path may not be the one to tread. One piss ant against a machine. A huge fucking machine.

The problem is, I mostly like this. I hate the labels thing (not for me, but I can see how they'd want to do it) and the fact they won't remove me from the admin of the one blog which could get me fired, but outside that, I like this simple, no frills thing. =/

I didn't think that you could get fired because of that other blog thing. I never really checked it out. It's weird that you or someone else on it can't remove your name from it in the Settings.

I hope you can get your name off of there before too long!

You don't have to do the labels if you don't want to.

Post pretty please.
