My 15-minutes relationship with Blogger

Why this is my first - and my last post here for now

Okay, I'm looking for a blog hosting site where I would host my blogs about software development. Today I thought I might give blogger a try, and I did. Originally, I wanted to blog about the ATP-Trinity, which is a concept invented of mine to describe some aspects of code for successful software development projects. A few weeks back I did some graphics to be used on XSlides during training. These graphics are - of course! - in SVG. And Blogger doesn't allow me to use SVG. So, this is my first - and for now my last blog post on Blogger. I might return to Blogger once it starts supporting SVG.

So now I'm a bit in trouble. I want to do a few things and Blogger doesn't support them.
Here's why I will not continue to use Blogger beyond this post:
  • Blogger lacks support for SVG.
  • Blogger has no Syntax Highlighting of Source Code
  • Blogger messes around badly with my HTML.
I might discover more reasons, but this is already a K.O..

Bye bye, Blogger, nice try.
