Blogger has been making it impossible for me to update my blog by generating intermittent errors for which there seem to be no solution (thus far at least).<\/p>\n<p>If necessary, I will shut-down my entire web site at stager.org, move it to a new hosting provider and create a WordPress blog for Stager-to-Go.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of people have been generous with advice to switch to WordPress. I know that WordPress is superior to Blogger. I even know how to create a WordPress blog. Constructing Modern Knowledge is evidence of my prowess.<\/p>\n<p>However, I am trying to <span style=\"font-style:italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">reduce<\/span><\/span> my work and would prefer to spend my time writing, reading, preparing for my new class or learning new things than engaging in monkey-work on the web.<\/p>\n<p>If this Web 2.0 stuff has any future, it&#8217;s dependent on it working reliably and transparently.<\/p>\n<p>My parents have a TIVO that I bought them three years ago. I pay the monthly subscription costs as well. YESTERDAY, my mother told me that they just discovered that you can pause live TV with a TIVO!<\/p>\n<p>There are millions of people like my mother who lack the technical expertise or desire to make this blog crap work. All I want to do is write and even that distracts me from more pressing work.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry. The Stager web presence will be yuge and ginormous in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Happy New Year!
