In which I note a blog you can't post to isn't much of a blog.

Judging by recent activity, you might think I've abandoned this blog. While I haven't exactly been writing weekly essays, the complete lack of activity is not my fault.

Sometime in late August or early September, something seems to have happened on Blogger that now prevents them from posting updates to my website. Hopefully, this post will make it through anyway.

I'm trying to work with Blogger on the issues, but at the same time I'm starting to investigate other platforms. Perhaps something that can handle my whole website.

Here's my feature list:

• Required
  • Offline composing
  • RSS/Atom feeds
  • Fully customizable look and feel using CSS (not having to format every paragraph)
  • No unreasonable limits on size or types of media (large ZIP, PNG, MPEG).
• Preferred
  • Mobile blogging, including posting pictures from my cell. (I necessary, I may build this myself if the platform permits.)
  • Support for static (non-dated) pages for the rest of my site
  • Widely supported platform.
  • Served from my own domain on the same server as my website (FreeBSD, Apache, PHP/Perl/Python, PgSql/MySql).
