I have recently switched my blog from a self-grown jsp/java/servlet solution to one that is much more popular and full-featured.

Yes, I gave in and started using Blogger itself as the engine behind my blog.

Creating an account, a new blog and integrating it with my own ISP was very, very easy. Great job blogger team! The process that took the bulk of my time was modifying a template to make it look the way I wanted it to. I started with one of the pre-built templates offered by Blogger and started modifying it to fit my needs. I think I would have been better off just cutting and pasting from files on my site instead - that definitely would have been faster. The transfer of my old posts over to Blogger was rather painless... since I only had 6 or 7 in the past two years! I need to be better about updating my blog regularly.

Well, I'm up and running!
