we used to be friends
you held my hand at the start
so new to blogging
then it all started
losts posts, wouldn’t save my words
we drifted apart
then i found WordPress
sad was i when i did move
still friends though…right?
so what now, Blogger?
why hast thou forsaken me?
i don’t understand
can’t leave a comment
without a Blogger blog…huh?
dude, what’s up with that?
seriously…what’s going on? i can’t leave a comment that links back to my place if i don’t use Blogger???? with all the other problems going on, are they looking for a mass exodus? i know some people haven’t had problems with Blogger, and i hope they never will. but the problems i have seen…Blogger ate the post announcing the birth of my first nephew! what. the. fuck?
so now i’m happy at WordPress…even looking for a webhost…but now i can’t leave a comment that links back to my blog so people know who i am.
not impressed Blogger….not impressed.

Love the ku. Hate the inspiration for it! Thanks for your comment about that “Xmas.” I’m 100% in agreement with your mother!

Hmm…did I inspire you?? LOL
Love the ‘ku. You may have just convinced me to continue with the Exodus.
Kisses!

So I just left a comment on a Blogger blog and now you can sign in with your WordPress or TypePad account (among many others). Maybe now you can have your link show up???

Isn’t that messed up? A lot of people have a dummy blogger blog where they put up a link to their WordPress blog. Annoying, but it works. Sympathies!

I’m too scared to leave blogger – as much as I want to, I just feel like I figured the bastard out. lol.
You can leave a link by just hyperlinking your name and site. Hopefully they’ll change this soon.

Ooh, I’m at blogger and I want you to come visit. I still dig it, but am interested in the differences. I’ve been there for almost three years though, so I’d feel nervous about the change!

I am too afraid to jump from the mothership. I was told the problems have been resolved.

Ohhh – I’m impressed you let. I keep thinking about it, but I don’t know enough about other ways/places to blog. Was it easy to set up your blog on WordPress?

I’m hearing a lot of complaints from people who have either left blogger or who have always been on other platforms. I have my own domain name and could set it up fairly quickly on WordPress but I’m hesitating now that I’m finally figuring out my way around blogger. Maybe I could pick up a few tips from you!
Congrats on the new digs! And I like your masthead. Marbles are so pretty…

Great Haiku Cate!
I was so pissed about this too, but I just read in your comments that you could now sign in with your typepad/wordpress account….
What the hell was blogger thinking?

So, you can now leave comments on Blogger blogs with your WP account. Woo hoo! I just found out this morning. So, all you Blogger bloggers, come join WP!

Thank you, Cate, for commenting on my haiku.
Yours is so clever, about a frustrating subject, though. I do enjoy WordPress.

y’know what’s funny…you just left a comment on my blog…i couldn’t respond to you. i, randomly, just found my way here! love the haiku and couldn’t agree more! i’m seriously considering moving over to wordpress. i have one blog there, already…i was trying to keep it secret from my family. but, i might seriously have to consider nixing the secret blog and move simple pleasures over there!
take care…thanks for the comment on my haiku!

Great ku! I am keeping my mind open as I watch this migration occur all around me. I am not one for change, though. Happy Weekend!

LOL! This was a great haiku! You commented on Judith’s blog so I thought I’d come say Hi
Blogger fixed their comments yesterday. Now anyone can comment.
This was a great haiku!!
I’m off to read more.

Awesome ku! I’m a Typepad user myself; and even with their new commenting system up and running, I’m not liking Blogger.

I agree.

I’m not sure how it works with the WordPress hosted blogs, but with self-hosted you need to install a plugin in order to use the OpenID feature in blogger. It’s pretty easy though, and I suspect WordPress hosted WordPress blogs already have the plugin installed. If you make the jump to self-hosted – I posted a link to the plugin on my blog.

Thanks for the comment on my ‘Ku. I love the name of your blog. Very original… hmmm, I haven’t been on blogger long, but I haven’t had any problems yet.

You can leave comments via your WP account- it’s in draft about to be rolled (all in effort to stop the evil spaminators). Great ku Cate!

I am confused…You left a comment, and it took me straight here…That is good right? I am so clueless…also to scared to leave Blogger, although, I am not loving it…Does WordPress cost money? Just to many options, and me sticking with the devil I know.
Hi, btw!

Ok, so can someone tell me how I can leave comments on blogger while using my wordpress account? Cuz I don’t know how…I tried, it kept redirecting me to nowhere.
