I have finished consolidating my yearly blogs into one new blog.
Last year's change by Blogger--where they won't publish to my website anymore--threw me for a loop that I'm only just now recovering from. But recover I have.
I took a look at Sailblogs (again). Looks great, nice community feel, some neat gadgets, and if I were starting out from scratch, that's probably where I'd start out. But I'm not starting from scratch.
I also spent some time playing with Wordpress, because my web host, ReadyHosting, provides a Wordpress installation that would be ON my website. I even *finally* figured out how to import one of my Blogger blogs into a Wordpress blog. But I could never get get a template that I liked, and I was a little nervous about the fact that Wordpress stores its posts in a database, and I wasn't sure how to back that up etc. Sure I could figure it out, but just don't have the time.
Then I went back to Blogger. Things seem to be settling down around Blogger--more stable. And they've implemented lots of new features that I like (check the new blog to see a couple of them). So I finally abandoned my custom template, picked a template as similar as I could to my old one, and then imported all my blogs-by-year blogs into one big blog.
