I've become conflicted about maintaining my blog here at Vox.
No offence to the Vox staff; this is certainly one of the best blogging services I'm aware of. But there's something about blogger that appeals to me.
I'm test driving it, at http://filsalustri.blogspot.com. I like the greater flexibility to change the look & feel of the blog (I think look & feel is really, really important), and I like the way they handle the use of widgets.
On the other hand, I really like the Vox editor, and the fine-grained control you can exert over who sees your blog. I also like the notion of Vox groups and neighbourhoods.
Of course, the real solution to my dilemma is to design a solution. I don't mean creating my own blogging software (although I'm working on that too); I mean making an informed choice by considering why I feel so conflicted.
And if I had the time to sit down and run the process - something that I know how to do very well - I'm sure I'd resolve my conflict. But real life gets in the way, and I just don't have the time to do it.
So I will keep the matter in my hind-brain (actually, in my white matter), on a low simmer, and wait for inspiration to strike.
