Moving Day

This blog is managed on Blogger’s platform but published by ftp to my own server. Blogger has served notice that they are ending support for publishing by ftp, and the deadline is May 1.

Given past issues (and no, I never did migrate after that incident) I’m not about to hand over full hosting to Google. I’ve installed a self-hosted WordPress instance thanks to the one-click magic of DreamHost’s control panel and have migrated all posts (except this one) to the new system. This post right here will be the final post from Blogger.

The temporary new address for Project Insomnia is: http://www.project-insomnia.com/wp/

I need to do some cleaning up before I can have the WordPress instance running in the root, so for now it’ll be in the /wp subdirectory. I’ll also have to choose and/or customize a WordPress template, install some plugins and generally update things now that we’re firmly in the second decade of the twenty-first century.

Thanks for reading and I hope you continue doing so during and after the transition.

(Another note: despite what I said in the above post, I’m probably keeping the blog in the /wp subdirectory.)
