Well, I’ve pretty much decided that I will be moving to a moveable type format some time in the future. I figure I need 1) a domain name, 2) a hosting service, and 3) MT installed. I know how to do the first two and three doesn’t seem real hard. If anyone has any advice, drop me a line in comments.

I know that blogger data will transfer (I’m guessing through some combination of XML/RSS, but I don’t really know how those work) but what about comments? Are they just lost?

Any suggestions for a hosting service would be great too. I know lots of folks use hosting matters. But what sort of bandwidth would I want? And what should I expect to pay?

As an aside: I’ve decided that group blogs are definitely the future. They offer a wide range of opinions and tend to draw traffic. I’d be willing to share the new site with people wanting to get off of blogger and would expect them to share the costs. Plus, it is an opportunity for us smaller bloggers to band together and get more people to read our stuff. Thoughts, opinions?

Any other blogspotters out there who are interested, shoot me an email or leave a note in comments. Or anyone who has thought about blogging can shoot me an email as well. Of course, do so knowing that I will be the one with administrative rights to the page.

I figure this will come about sometime in July.
