David Codrea's War on Guns blog relocates

I do not mean to speak for David, but am simply trying to act as rumor control:

Blogger has acknowledged that this is an error on their part; apparently more than a thousand sites, of all political persuasions and topics, were affected.

(I'll note that some folks immediately jumped to the conclusion that Blogger was censoring liberal voices.)

David was able to put up a sidebar explaining the situation and his take on it.

[This is the part where I'm definitely not speaking on his behalf, just passing along what I've read.] It looks like he's established the WordPress site as a backup measure, but has no immediate plans to move there; it's just too much work. (One issue is apparently some difficulty migrating photos. Another is fixing all the links that refer to other TWOG.blogger posts.)

In comments at TWOG, which still work, David says, "Please all hold on any link changes, etc. If I can get this resolved, I'm not anxious to make these changes. If and when I move I want it to be when I'm ready--not when I'm forced. On my terms, at the time and place of my choosing..."

"Y'know, there's an analogy in there somewhere..."

So, don't change the bookmarks just yet.

Go ahead and presume to speak for me, DJ--you do a better job than I do.

That's pretty much it--it was a Blogger glitch where a lot of blogs were coming up false positives as spam. They have cleared that up and WoGspot is back in business.

Then it turned out there's a glitch at SiteMeter--their upgrading made all sites carrying their widget inaccessible from IE (Firefox and Safari worked fine). That's still unresolved so I removed that code and joy has returned to Mudville.

I'm not sure about the WordPress site yet--I'm still exploring other options, but want the move to be when I'm ready, not when forced by circumstances--I don't want to put the work into transferring everything over and find out I just don't like it. So thank you very much for the announcement and new link, I do appreciate it, but for now, barring yet another unforeseen outage, I'm not going to evacuate over a sudden squall.
