Blog Switch

I'm really frustrated with Blogger right now. Since the new Google/Blogger switch, they've really left those of us who use the service on a blog we host on our own website high and dry. There's no support for us because none of their fancy-shmancy new features work for us.

Now it seems that people are trying to comment here, but the comments are never showing up. I looked at installing HaloScan, but I don't see an easy way to install it for my hybrid new/old Bloggger blog. The manual install instructions don't make much sense to me, I'm afraid.

Combine the lack of features and support with my continuing frustration at the things Blogger has never allowed me to do and its frequent outages, and I've had it. I'm switching to a grown up blog service. I'm thinking Movable Type, but I'd welcome any advice. If you can't leave a comment, email me, and I'll see about posting it for you.

Have you tried asking over at the Haloscan forums? I had some problems setting up my comments but found answers there pretty easily. I like Haloscan much, much better than Blogger's comment service - no spam, and I not only get email notification of comments but I can directly email people back after they comment. Very nice!
