boj1 v boj2




















Ever since Typepad shut down last September 30 after 21 years, resulting in my having to find a new home for boj which turned out to be here on Blogger — it being the least painful and most usable TechnoDolt[ian(!)©®™-friendly alternative platform — I've been kvetching about how much more time and effort (2-5x!) it takes to create a post here compared to Typepad.

But this morning I woke up and smelled the coffee.

1. The Blogger version of boj (top left) looks MUCH better on mobile than the Typepad version did (top right)

2. 70% of my current readers do so on mobile

One more thing: I'm still chuffed six months later that somehow I was able to get the current mobile-friendly version up and running all my myself.

Though without the longtime support and encouragement of Phillip Winn, I'd never have made it to this point.

  1. The worst thing about the new platform IMHO is not knowing if/what items got comments on them without clicking on all of them (vs the section on the right on the old site that gave the last 10 or so comments). I am not going to be spending my time checking back on old posts to see if might be a new comment or not 😐
