Well, I'm officially la Beisbolista for all eternity now (or until such time as I forget to renew my domain). I switched over not because of some driving need to eliminate "blogspot" from my address (not that that isn't reason enough), but rather because I've had this stupid feed problem that I was hoping to work out. The really stupid thing is that changing over did not fix the problem. Apparently there was something wrong with the gobbledygook (sorry if I'm getting too technical for you) that I had to fix anyway. So, long story short, I fixed (or at least am truly hoping I fixed) the feed problem, and I needlessly changed my blog address (although I'm sure the benefits will become apparent any minute now).
I think it still re-directs from the old site, but if you lose me, I surely hope you find me again.
Oh, by the way, when I switched, blogger emptied my blog lists for me (thanks again!) and so I had to start all over with them. I tried my darndest to remember everyone I had linked to, but if I left you off, please forgive me and let me know.
