Moving off Blogger..

This is my last post on this blog. Blogger and Google have been a bit of a disappointment, so this seems like a good time to wrap up and find an alternative.

What I want in a blog service:

• bug-free editor - I don't actually need WYSIWYG if it's that hard to do; HTML would be fine
• reliable server to save mid-edit to, and which doesn't push down the whole page - that I'm in the middle of editing - with a message telling me that once again it failed to auto-save
• a preview with links that work, so I can test them there

What I want from Google's search services:

• if they run a service like Blogger, they should put the pages from it in their index, preferably when they're published
• for "site:object-network.blogspot.co.uk" to work

I'm also looking for alternatives to Feedly, the feed reader that pulls in new pages in less than a second, but then stubbornly refuses to acknowledge updates from then on.

You don't know what you do want, until you know what you don't want. I now know more about what I want. So thanks, Google, for that!

And for giving me a free blog, which wasn't so bad, really.
