Hello? Is this thing on?
I wasn’t going to post anything about Blogger getting hacked today, because it’s been making the rounds all afternoon and is pretty much beaten to death already. But events like this tend to get me thinking a little bit more seriously about moving away from a centralized service like Blogger and over to some sort of publishing system that I can run and maintain locally. Something feature rich and infinitely customizable. Something like Moveable Type for instance. Something that ties into a database for increased flexibility and can facilitate dynamic content generation. Something like PHP Nuke perhaps? Something that gives the control back to me. Something that would let me fix my own RSS feed when it doesn’t quite validate. Something that I can spend my own time supporting and worrying about. Something with a steeper learning curve. Something that would require me to buy a brand new new server … Erm … Something that … Oh yeah, now I remember why I still use Blogger.
