The Case of the Missing Muses

People are beginning to send me emails to ask where Clio and CM (whom we plan to call "Musette" from now on, after a stroke of Clio-inspiration) have disappeared. It's either my computer, dear people, or my Blogger account. I'm not sure which one. I don't see how my computer can have a virus infection, because it's protected by so many firewall and other security barriers. In fact, I suspect it may be the security barriers that are partly responsible for my difficulty with posting, but I don't really know. I am thinking of opening a Wordpress account; I hear they have fewer problems of this kind, and their comments function is certainly better than the one I now have.

So there it is. I will see if I can post this, and if I can, I may try to publish a real post later today.

The Cocteau Twins have a theme song for you. (YouTube link). Unfortunately not one of their most memorable tunes.

What kind of msg do you get when you try to post? I have occasional problems with Blogger, but they have to do with the fact that my blog is hosted elsewhere. I've considered moving to Wordpress, too, but am probably not going to because I use HaloScan for comments and although Wp will import a Blogger blog, I would lose the Haloscan comments. Blogger comments would be imported, though, so you'd be ok.

I guess you know you can create a Wordpress account and play around with it, including importing your old blog, to see if you like it.

Other minor factors keeping me with Blogger: you can't edit Wp comments--you can delete them, but not edit them, so it's all or nothing. Also I'm not crazy about most of their visual themes and you're limited in how much you can change. Seems like 80% of their users choose the one Amy Welborn uses (and I use for the Caelum et Terra blog) and just change the image at the top. Not that I have done anything much with mine, but I'm always planning to.

Overall, though, I do think Wp is better.
