My old webhost seemed to be getting very very slow at times. Michele had such good things to say about Bloggerzone that I decided to give it a try.

The core weblog seems to work fine, and the speed is vastly improved. Some of the CGI is still a bit buggy until the domain transfers over. Because of that, I'm not sure how well my email is going to work. Also the CGI referrals don't seem to be working, and the counter is noticeably absent. I'll fix all that stuff once the domain transfers over and I'm sure the CGI is even executing locally.

Also, the photos in the weblog content are all broken. Since all the photos were put in the '/images/...' folder, they won't reappear until the domain transfers over. (Basically the leading slash removes the '~ravnwood' from the image tag.)

Since my old site used BerkeleyDB and the new host uses MYSQL, I had to reimport all the entry and comment data. That served to renumber all the 'permalinks'. Anyone who linked to any permalinks may want to adjust them accordingly.

This host is much faster and seems to work a lot better. Although it doubled my hosting costs, Ravenwood's Universe will still be offered free of charge and with no gratuitous begging.
