Yes, you read that correctly. I want to switch from MT to Blogger. I had a custom MT template created for me by a designer who is no longer in the business, and it is so technical that most of the features that once made it desirable are now useless to me (Trackback spam got so bad that I just disabled Trackbacks, I have no clue how to use plug-ins, update MT or make simple changes to my template, etc.). Meanwhile, my wife is on blogger and has no problem doing most anything, because it's all there. Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe I can cover 1% of that hefty $99/year hosting plan. Nice one :) Get a Google AdSense account. Maybe I can cover 1% of that hefty $99/year hosting plan.

I looked into WordPress, and that was a tempting option, but since MT was working I stuck with it. Eventually I will have to fork out some cash and upgrade to 3.11. I can't remember how I set it up, but I didn't have to install it in a cgi-bin. I know it isn't as secure, but it is such a pain switching between hosting companies. Good luck in the transition. I think you will really like MT once you get up and running. I think losing Blogger is a good idea for anyone willing to invest the time it takes to learn Movable Type.

I guess if I find something better, I can always switch, <i>again</i>. Like I say, if you're thinking of switching, do so right away. I can't tell you what hell it is to manually insert all of those comments.

It seems like a lot of MTers are going to WordPress. I'm content to slack on Blogger awhile more. :) Any particular reason you opted for MT? It seems like a lot of MTers are going to WordPress.
