I've emailed Nathan about switching to WP. David, if you're still out there, could you send me an email? I'd love to get some further help with some design features.Ben Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800127501735910966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-27940468187159877792010-11-09T21:14:22.314-05:002010-11-09T21:14:22.314-05:00This post, like many similar posts, put me in mind...This post, like many similar posts, put me in mind of a distantly related quote from a recent Michel Barnes article: <br /><br />'Second Moderns tend to think that the time of metaphysics is long passed—and here Kant<br />counts as “metaphysics”—and that theology now has to be constructed upon this new<br />“fact.” Unfortunately, the theologians who most fervently announce the death of metaphysics<br />are almost always people with no scholarly authority or credibility in the field of<br />philosophy. It is one thing to build a theology on a hypothesis—e.g., “this theology will be<br />articulated as if metaphysics were dead”—but it is something quite different to base one’s<br />theology upon one’s own impersonation of a philosopher. The proper question to ask<br />whenever judgments about philosophy are integral to a theology are mooted is, “Why<br />should I value your opinion on the field of philosophy?”' <br /><br />Ebion at the Barricades, n. 21.Josephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-89731490333790913372010-11-09T15:20:42.932-05:002010-11-09T15:20:42.932-05:00One way to go is just to leave the Blogger page in...One way to go is just to leave the Blogger page in place and start a new Wordpress page, linking back to the Blogger archives. I found that too much data was lost when I tried to import posts to Wordpress -- most importantly the actual author of the post. That might not be as big an issue for Ben, though. But I don't see why it's a big deal to leave the old site in place as an archive rather than importing it.Adam Kotskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00242669006117144100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-4822413611232325462010-11-09T12:34:14.063-05:002010-11-09T12:34:14.063-05:00Nieztsche: a nasty lover's tiff with the glove...Nieztsche: a nasty lover's tiff with the gloves off (all insults and personal attacks are on the table).<br /><br />Does anyone know if it is possible to shift to Wordpress (or elsewhere) and still maintain all internal links? I have long desired to be rid of Blogger, but really don't want to lose all internal links (which I find a helpful of noting the connections and development of my thoughts).byron smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17938334606675769903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-44454736191272935202010-11-09T12:07:58.240-05:002010-11-09T12:07:58.240-05:00Funny.

And I can either run you through the process of importing your blogger posts and comments, or help out. It's pretty easy. I did it a couple of years ago.Nathanhttp://st-eutychus.comnoreply@blogger.com
