so... i got tired of managing things myself... and i'm on a new server now, and since blogger is run by google, i'm back on blogger, and we'll see how things go. i lost all my old posts in blogger's system when i logged in again, but alas... i don't care. i've got hard copies of everything. the only thing to do now, is upgrade them all to a new layout format, that i have yet to create, and somehow hack blogger's archive page (again) and make things right. wee!
