Decisions Decisions

Just spent the last 7 hours (around 10:30pm-5:30am) working on setting up the blog for my site, and already have run into a couple problems.


  1. The code they use for the blog info (Example here) as you can see, is just a mess. There is some order in it which I can decipher but only to the extent as "Ok, this piece prints it out as an H1 tag". I'm able to move things around and whatnot but it just makes me want to pull my hair out.

  2. My site uses PHP for part of the layout, and Blogger does not like PHP. Their pages run on XML, which won't allow PHP coding on the page. :(

  3. Although painful, moving the style over is doable, though since it's being external, comments would be lost. When defaulted back to blogger, the comments still showed up, but on the external, all comments went away.



All together, I think I can just have a link to the blog on my main website, linking to the blog and opening it in a new window. That way, people don't have to leave my main site, to view the blog and try to find it again. It just seems so much easier to have it hosted on blogger.com than external at the moment.



I think I should probably get some sleep now, seeing as it's close to 6am, by the time of this post. Good night, and hopefully you're not hoping to move your blog also ;)
