Knowing when to shut up
: I had added to the post below regarding Iraq last night, but because part of Blogger was down, it did not appear until this morning (thus my motivation to move to Movable Type).
So I repeat myself with the addendum to that Iraq post:
: You see, sometimes it's important to know when to shut up.
If I had something to add to the Iraq debate -- in facts or reporting or perspective or wisdom -- I'd add it; I'd have added it long since.
But I don't. So I should get points for adding nothing.
For if we are not careful, weblogs will turn into catalogues of "what I think about..."
When people could publish their own web pages, they too quickly became catalogues of "my CD collection." As if anybody should care.
Moving day
: With the amazing help of my amazing son, I think we just moved from Blogger to Movable Type (and upgraded to the new Movable Type 2.5 while we were at it). We shall see....
I think it's working. I had to change my archive filenames, but the old archives are still up, so I hope old links still work.
At a moment such as this, it's important to pay tribute to Blogger/Pyra and its founders and to Ev's diligence and keeping it going. Without them, the Blogosphere would be a fraction, a fraction of a fraction, of the size that it is. All hail Blogger.
: All hail Movable Type, as well. It's a wonderful product, superbly executed.
Methinks the two companies should tie together: Blogger is for all beginners; Movable Type for would-be geeks.
: Also note that I changed the name, above. It was WarLog: World War III. But most people started referring to the site by its juicy address: BuzzMachine.com. So I made the change.
: Next, a new template.
