Yet Another Ramblings of a Misguided Blonde

Many of you may well be aware of some of the issues with Blogger. As I grew in my blogging efforts, I've run right into them. Thus far, I've come up with a solution. I've created a shadow-blog on WordPress. Essentially, I'm just importing posts from here to the WordPress version. Within the next couple of days, I'm going to be adding several static pages on WordPress. They will then appear as links here. This is the reason why I created the WordPress version. I tried creating separate pages using my main blog on Blogger as a template. It just didn't work. This was much easier to set up. There is no need to change links or anything. Just be aware that the other blog is there. I just did it to have the functionality of creating static pages.

500th Post! Where Do I Go From Here?

This marks the 500th post on Ramblings of a Misguided Blonde. Soon, I will have officially been blogging for three years (May 1st). It is a time that I upgrade a little bit and better organize all of my content. This is where I need help.

There are several things that I'm considering here. First off, I'm wondering if there is a way to create stand-alone pages within Blogger. With WordPress, bloggers have the option to create a new post or a new stand-alone page. There are several things that I'd like to relegate to separate pages. Is anyone aware of a way to do this using Blogger? I've thought about moving to WordPress; however, that requires a lot of work considering the few features I want to utilize (I'd also like to be able to hide parts of longer posts behind cuts as is common in LiveJournal). Thus far, I've created a WordPress shadow blog (essentially I just uploaded all of the posts here to a WordPress blog). I'd love to get some feedback. My understanding is that I'm dealing with one issue here. If I can create stand-alone pages, I'll be able to hide items behind cuts.

Please help!

Thanks in advance,

Lindsey

P.S. - I love Blogger and really would like to stay here!
