As Uncle $cam mentioned, Blogger is going to stop working with ftp, and yes that means us. I still have to figure this out entirely but I will before the deadline. Any input?
As far as their hosting, they don't allow nudes, I think, so my drmenlo.com and SLA are screwed. May is also the ten year anniversary of Dr. Menlo. Funny coincidence.
Amsam.org may be hosted by google because there are (usually) no nudes, so I have to look into this. We can also do Wordpress, archive this one and start over. It's extremely annoying and I would pay for the service to keep as is but it is not an option . . .
Any input?
p.s. not sure what the hell is going on with blogger now. This hasn't published since the 8th? I am working on it. Maybe taking out the comments will work. Any experts on the new blogger? Any comments / thoughts please email me: drmenlo @ gmail.com. Thanks! Oh yea I will publish this manually until I figure it out. [preview template, see source, copy, save as index.htm, upload via ftp to replace old one.]
update: ah, it looks like someone hit that button 'move this blog' or migrate it or whatever . . . I had made our top posters 'admin' - maybe one hit it without thinking . . . hm . . ok . . . am working on it . . .
"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."
