After a horrible experience with our original blog hosting provider, we’ve moved to a new system. Hopefully it’ll be a great experience – it sure has been so far, with the staff being extremely responsive to help us get set up and to import our old content. The original blog will still be available for a while if you’d like to take a look (we didn’t move any of the comments over – sorry).

Don:
I see you had some problems with the blog hosting. Movable Type has some great blog software that will work on Windows Servers. It was a bit of work to configure all of the required components, but for you guys it would be a snap. I now have 2 installs on my server and I am loving it.
Wait, maybe this is MT. If it isn’t, what is it?
I like the change. Something new for 2007. Is the ‘login’ link supposed to do something useful? I don’t see a ‘create login’ link…
The login is for blog authors, basically Don and myself. You don’t need to do anything other than enjoy.
I noticed the link to the blog on the http://www.sapien.com home page still points to the old blog. Is this by design until it is deactivated?
Congratulations for the move to a nicer and cleaner looking blog interface !
( I know the challenges as I migrated mine and still have to move the old blog entries over manually! )
The blog is hosted by http://www.SquareSpace.com. Given the number of sites we already need to maintain, and the bandwidth the blog uses, a self-hosted solution like MovableType or WordPress didn’t work for us (not that they aren’t excellent solutions). TypePad’s business-level blogs are prohibitively priced, we felt; SquareSpace offers good value and a very usable and customizable interface. They were tremendously helpful with the migration (although we did write our own XML-to-MT converter; SquareSpace only imports MT-formatted blogs). All in all we’re in a better hosting situation, so we’re free to focus on keeping the blog content-centric.
