Here I am on blogspot, asking whether I should make this site work, or move on to some other platform.  And there's Movable Type, calling to me.  Even a tiddlywiki could be an option ... though limited in scope.

Pretty quick, says I.Of course, you can't see the results until the post is in place, but that's probably all right.The widget probably promotes brief, twitter-like posts, but that's probably all right, too.Which Blogger widget? This one.

Until now, I've been sending the TEA Times using a free but closed-source scripting engine known as Rebol. It's cross-platform, which has allowed me to send emails from Windows, Mac or Linux machines (depending on where I happen to be sitting).No more. A one-page Python script now does the job quite nicely, and with far less overhead than the Rebol engine requires. The list of recipients is

While there's absolutely nothing wrong with the service being provided by blogger.com, I think TEA might be a better fit at wordpress.comIf you have any ideas about this -- specifically any strong arguments as to why the site should not migrate, let me know.- thanks

Notice from the Board: All of you should have received a Class Action Claim Form if you MAY be eligible for a portion of the settlement from King County. We have checked with our legal counsel, though they have made very clear they are not the attorneys for any members who are affected by this Class Action.Because this is not a TEA issue, we can only suggest that if you feel there is a question
