Blogger is driving me fucking crazy

I don't know if others have been having problems with submitting comments on the "new" blogger, but I think the fine people at Google are using a different definition of that word than I'm accustomed to. I can't count the number of times I've had to retype in that goddamn security word only to find that I have to retype my password, or vice versa. "New" now apparently means "(1) aggravating and frequently vexing; (2) an absolute pain in the ass; (3) no longer worth my time."

Over the next few days I'm planning on moving this blog somewhere else and kissing blogger goodbye. Anyone have any good ideas? Wordpress? Typepad?

If anyone can provide a compelling reason to not move the 'kog, I'm willing to entertain those arguments, too.

As U2 once said, "If you walk away/walk away...I will follow..."

You guys have to type the security password in multiple times, too? I thought Google hated me. Good to know I'm not alone.

P.S. Could you edit my Streatch comment, Kevvy? I gots the name wrong. What it is. Teh internets are hard. It pwns me.

I can't edit comments, Bri, just delete. Just post a correction, if you want.

Google's doing the same thing to me too.

But what's really ticking me off is that my comment hyperlinks don't seem to work anymore.

How the heck are your supposed to prove somebody wrong if you can't bring in any new info?

Hmmm, so it's not just me. That's it, don't be surprised if by this time tomorrow this blog looks a little different.

One word:

Wordpress

same here. and has anyone been able to upload youtube to the new blogger yet? if so - please help.

Yeah, we've managed to do it a couple of times. The trick is to paste the html into the "edit" window, not the other one. When you do it in that one, it drops one of the close statements and bones it up.

It's stuff like that that just tickles me blue about blogger.

Mike - what kevvyd says, alternatively you can try deleting your blog from your youtube account and reinstalling it under it's new persona
