Blogger just wouldn’t accept my old-Blogger login to post the comment, and I realized the futility of fighting a battle certain to be lost within a month or so in any case. (I’ll leave the fighting of futile battles to Dubya. Actually, I wish we could leave it to him, and bring everyone else home.)

Since I converted, I have been confronted with no fewer than three different comment interfaces on various old-Blogger and Blogger-beta blogs in the span of less than a week. The saved-cookie login doesn’t seem to preserve for more than a half day or so. I can understand that one from my own experience; it takes more than a little thought to avoid cross-version cookie catastrophes. But when I heard Eschaton was down, I began to think perhaps it is best for me simply to avoid Blogger blogs for a week or so until Google gets its act together.

What do I get for switching to Google/Blogger beta? If I may drop a hint, my toaster oven is almost 40 years old…

I would have probably converted a blog like Eschaton off-line to save overhead and deal with problems.

I think one of the problems could be link conversion, especially links to earlier posts in the same blog.

I’m either a lucky recipient of the early-bird special or a really small fish, because when I converted several weeks ago it actually only took minutes…
