Oh, for the love of God …
I am so tired of clicking on a BlogSpot blog link and (a) having the archive come up as not found, or, today especially, (b) having the frelling site simply never, never, ever load.
People, if nobody can read what you’re writing, you’re not getting a very good deal, even if it’s free. You get what you pay for, and they should be paying you.
So, hell, I’m willing to cut a deal similar to Andrea, and for the same reasons. If you are a BlogSpot user, and if you are in my blogroll (that would be you, you, you, you, you, you, you, and you), and, of necessity, if you read this message*, I am willing to host you, and build an MT blog for you, and allocate a subdomain for you (yourblog.hill-kleerup.org — if you want a full-blow domain, we can figure that out, too) for only the cost of the disk space you need (I’m running close to my limit).
Offer void whenever I get so aggravated by BlogSpot that I drop you off my blogroll. Operators are standing by. Call today.
*Unlike Andrea, I’m not going to e-mail these folks personally, since they’ll either see it here if they read me, or they if they don’t they won’t and won’t know me from Adam and aren’t likely to do it, either. But, then, Andrea has bigger juevos than I do.)
Rock on! Free the bloggers!
Well, one blogger got the message. Though I can’t take credit for it, I suppose.
Hopefully, TypePad will be up and running soon, and they can all move to MT for their hosting needs.
Not that they should turn down your offer, mind. 🙂
This is a very generous offer… Blogger’s archive glitches have been increasingly annoying and, truth to tell, I * pay them * for removing banner advertising. I would love to shift to MT under my own domain (www.nicholaspackwood.com) but I am hosted by Yahoo!/Geocities and I believe they do not support all the bits and bobs necessary for MT. Hmm…
Yeah, I don’t think you can load the MT stuff onto a Geocities site. TypePad should be up soon, as Julia notes, if you want a nice, professionally managed service. Or you can bite the bullet and actually purchase hosting space from a real (ahem) host that lets you play a bit under the hood.
Or, like I said …
