Righto

So w.bloggar is a partial answer to my concerns about server-side blogging. Although it doesn't save the entire site per se, by which I mean offer a complete local copy of the whole shebang on my own computer, it does seem to get around my fears that I might write a great deal of stuff up and post it to (in this case) Blogger only to find that due to some force majeure I never see it again. Companies come and go, and so on, and after all I'm getting a free service here; grateful though I am I don't expect that to be an indefinite facility. I do like the commenting facilities and general effortless prettiness (it's all relative) of this Blogger blog, and have always said that I'd use it as my main blog were there some way of keeping my data locally as well as on the remote site. w.bloggar allows me to save posts I create on my own machine, as well as giving a good editing environment to create and upload those posts to remote blogging services. Okay, I don't get to keep comments made. Okay, I end up with a separate little file here for each post. Okay, so I send links to Blogger via the BlogThis! extension to Firefox and therefore have no local copy. But anything of substance I write, provided that I use w.bloggar, IS retained on my machine if I choose. I sense the glimmer of a new era. I do so want the commenting facilities that Blogger affords, I do I do.
