a practical matter

This new "Stats" function in blogger is quite revealing. Poking around the blogosphere during a very rare, and extremely frustrating night of insomnia, I just discovered that this blog has received over 600 or so page views, 108 of which are based in Russia (that's 65ish less than in the United States, and 12 more than in Canada). This means that The Boydleian still has some sort of vitality and, perhaps, relevance? (or...maybe they were just stopping by for a blogosecond, you know.) People really seem to like this post: http://theboydleian.blogspot.com/2009/06/blog-post.html. This is interesting to me.

I would like to move forward with this blog, but my problem right now is a practical one. Perhaps I could ask my 600 assiduous followers for help? For whatever reason, this blog is registered under a gmail account which I simply never use, the one associated with the email address davidandboyda@gmail.com (created solely to manage wedding-related email traffic, which is clearly in the distant past). As far as I can tell, I cannot transfer The Boydleian to my current, much-frequented gmail account. I can add my current email to my account, but I cannot transfer. Has anyone performed a transposition ritual on his/her blog? Will the transfer require less onerous labour than I imagine?

Also, is it just me, or has blogger become extremely technical and html-y? This probably means that we have the potential for more control over our blogs, but for me, it is just intimidating.

I'd like to use 'html-y' in everyday conversation

You can connect your two gmail accounts really easily. Then you dont need to change over your blog. My blog is also nested in with an email I never (have never) used for anything other than the blog. I don't know how to change it. I think I tried a long time ago...

Really, Forrest? I felt like I tried everything.

Well, Hillary says I can export/import my blog, so I might try that.
