Like you really care, but I decided to stick with Blogger. And I've added a new feature today.

With the blog having to move in January with the impending shuttering of Defiant Theatre, I've been examining several blog systems, like Moveable Type, Pivot, GeekLog, Blosxom, etc., thinking it might be time to move up to something robust. I decided that they were all unnecessary for us. I don't need all the categories and permissions and blah-de-blah. I just want to post something when I feel like it. There are a few things Blogger doesn't do (like list archive links in reverse chronological order or provide a search box), but those can be hacked together. I also need to provide a way for Kelly to have a list of links, which I'm on top of. I would like to have a management system for my portfolio, but I have such specific thoughts on how that should work, I've decided to roll my own. In truth, Blogger has added all the features I need, most notably comments. So why switch?

I'm in the process of redesigning the blog. I want it to be a bit more standards compliant. I have to make some changes so I can add the comments stuff, anyway, so why not have a new look? Expect a newer, punkier design soon (it's purple and green, at least for now).

There is one new feature you can take advantage of: I've enabled the Atom feed. (The what?) If you haven't upgraded your blog reading to utilize a news reader, you're missing out. I use PulpFiction; it's new, so it's still a little buggy, but I like the features. You Windows users can try NewzCrawler. In any event, all those news sites and blogs and then some that you read are all collected into one place, saving you tons of time pouring through your bookmarks. And now you can add us to your blogroll by subscribing to our Atom feed. HERE IT IS.

The new design should be ready in about two weeks.
