It's mainly about my master thesis for a start. I'm working on a master
thesis on "Adaptive Animation for Character Locomotion" and I'll be using
the blog to document and keep track on my own progress and share my thoughts
and results. Basically I'm working on a technology to make walking and
running characters in computer games look more realistic.
I was surprised that Blogger.com would let me have the blog on my own site
and with my completely own design without requiring any components installed
on my server. It's all handled by Blogger and simply transferred per FTP to
my host as static html pages whenever something changes. Sure it may seem
like old technology, but so far it seems to work fine. Blogger's interface
is exposed when people actually want to comment, but I don't mind that.

Well it is Google, they seem to be quite good at doing that sort of thing.

I don't know a lot about either... I used WordPress for a group project a
year ago and I just remember thinking that the WYSIWYG interface for posting
was horrible and broken. This doesn't seem to be the case as much with
Blogger, but then, I haven't tried much other than plain text yet.
Anyway, do WordPress allow this "publish via FTP" thing? And what do you
think are the advantages of WordPress over Blogger?

I don't know about FTP, but you can publish via email, although it won't allow
you to select a category.

I like running the WP code from my server (I'm a control freak like that), there
are a large number of themes (and all of them customizable... is that even a
word??), and there are some nice plugins to keep track of stats, spam
protection, blah blah blah. Blogger also has a horrible reputation for being a
spammer's haven.
I don't know... WordPress is not perfect, and I know there are other blog
software packages out there that are comparable, maybe even better. I just
like having a few gazillion themes to choose from so I don't have to hurt my
few and far-between brain cells designing yet another website. And you can't
argue with the price ;)

Not that you were asking me, but... I use WordPress because it's what my
host provides. (It comes free with the package.) It works, but the
thingy for composing posts is disgustingly buggy. In general, WP doesn't
seem terribly stable. Oh, and my hosts have kindly disabled most of the
customisibility features.
Of course, if I were to pay them 3x my current fees, I could run
arbitrary CGI. If I then manually install WP by myself [presumably a
very non-trivial task] I would then be able to customise it all I want.
Or try something better...

I haven't had any issues with the interface -- yet -- on my WordPress, but the
one they run on Animationblogspot.com sometimes makes me want to put my fist
thru my monitor. Which is bad, because broken glass hurts and then I have no
monitor...

The biggest advantage I've seen is that WP includes a UI for statistics
information on the blog. Probably not as important for you since you're
doing the "publish via ftp" (which I didn't know blogger had), but it is
really nice to see how the blog is being accessed.

Go post a comment. Now click "edit". Oh look, a whole bunch of spurious
"<p>" tags have now appeared. Everything is now double-spaced. Neat.
Write a post. Post it. Now go back and edit it. Oh look, all my markup
has been chewed up. (Certain tags get eaten!)
And so on...

Never seen this. Then again, I don't post comments to my own site... although I
probably should, since no one else does ;)

No, that's not what I meant. I write articles in the web interface, but the
blog content is then uploaded (published) as static HTML-pages to my own web
space using FTP. This means I can have the blog on my own site even though I
don't have control over which components are installed on the server.

Yeah, that's what I can't do with my web host.

Can you customize a few colors or style sheets, or have you complete control
over every aspect of the HTML/CSS that the blog consists of?
> Blogger also has a horrible reputation for being a spammer's haven.
Ugh, that doesn't sound good. How's that possible when they require word
recognision before posting a comment (if not logged in to a google account)?
I guess time will tell how well Blogger works out for me.

Colors, stylesheets and if you know PHP, then the whole shebang. I'm not versed
in the ways of PHP, so I don't know how easy it actually is, but there's
documentation on their site...

Let me re-phrase that: their comment-spam protection is probably as good as
anyone else's (if you can moderate a comment on any blog service, you can
guarantee yourself no comment-spamming); rather, I'm referring to splogging and
Google's apparent disinterest in combatting it:

Never seen either, and I sometimes edit my posts several times, even after
publishing.
<goes and edits a comment several times> Nope, all is well.
The only issue I've see is that sometimes stuff within <pre></pre> tags get
multi-spaced if you edit enough times
What version of Wordpress were you using? Current version is 2.3.3

Sometimes I edit a post, and when I go back and look, just *some* of the
paragraph breaks have vanished, and I have to go put them back. <pre> is
a lost cause. It sometimes does strange things to lists. (Like stripping
"</li>" out.)
Editing a comment completely screws up all the markup. When you first
post the comment, it's fine. But if you go to *edit* it, the markup is
broken in at least two ways:
- Paragraphs now have <p> tags IN ADDITION to blank lines, so everything
now double-spaces.
- Entities get double-escaped. E.g., "…" becomes "…"
[which obviously displays wrong].

WordPress just ATE my reply... :'{
Damn it, and I spent *ages* writing that...
WP-Hashcash Check Failed
Your client has failed to compute the special javascript code required
to comment on this blog. If you believe this to be in error, please
contact the blog administrator, and check for javascript, validation, or
php errors. It is also possible that you are trying to spam this blog.
If you are using Google Web Accelerator, a proxy, or some other caching
system, WP-Hashcash may not let you comment. There are known issues with
caching that are fundamentally insoluble, because the page being written
to you must be generated freshly. Turn off your caching software and
reload the page. If you are using a proxy, commenting should work, but
it is untested.
You have previously failed the check 0 times.

Well, I am as well. I've got a professional blog (only 14 posts in about
as many months), but rarely get comments. But it does get read, so
that's a good thing.

No, most of the software packages for stuff like this has an upgrade
process that preserves the existing data. Wikis and blogs particularly.

I tries to reproduce any of those, and failed.
Possibly your hosting provider has added something that has broken
wordpress. I know I once enabled a theme and broke my rss feed and post

If the admins can't handle copying a bunch of .php files from one directory to

Well, the implementers had better have it. Even a tar file and a SQL
server dump are better than nothing.

Wordpress dashboard -> Manage -> Export (asuming your hosting service hasn't
disabled it)
Have you considered changing hosting companies? The one I'm using is in the
USA and very reasonable for the low-end package. $7/month I think.

Or Wordpress.com, which is free (but you can pay for additional services).

Wordpress.com is very nice. I started there and moved to my own host when I
wanted plugins, themes and a domain name. The host worked out cheaper, plus
I can move my normal site there someday.

No, it seems to be there...

Well, I'd consider it, but I'd have to find a decent replacement host.
Really, the guys I'm with aren't too bad. It's just that they restrict
certain options in an attempt to make you upgrade to a more expensive
package.
[Basically I have the "web hosting" package. Apparently I need to
upgrade to the "virtual server" package to get any extra functionallity.
But that means I have to install and configure Apache myself, install
and configure WP myself, and so on for anything else I want to host. And
it IS 3x the price. Hmm...]

No, I haven't posted anything. Thanks for asking. :)
The trip to San Francisco and the Game Developers Conference was great!
The workshops and lectures Monday and Tuesday were okay, but didn't really
bring me any grand new insights. However, the Expo Hall opened Wednesday,
and showing off our game Flipside to all the interested people coming by our
booth Wednesday to Friday was really exiting! I also talked in two different
video-interviews (I haven't seen any of them yet; they've promised to
contact us when they're ready). And at the IGF and Choice Award show (the
game industry's equivalent of the Oscar-show) we were VIPs sitting at tables
in the front section area in front of the scene. Fantastic experience!
I exchanged business card with a lot of people and I think our nomination
have opened some doors so we will be taken seriously in our future game
projects and have an easier time getting distribution deals. I hope to be
able to go to the GDC again next year.

Yeah, I'm probably going to move some of my stuff from there to my own
server - but for bandwidth management, external is the way to go.

Try Webhost4life. They're not bad. If you want wordpress, you have to
install and configure yourself, but it's a very quick easy process.

Here's another data point:

Anybody care to compare the number of comments stated to the *actual*
number of comments? ;-)
[I have no idea how that happened. But I'd guess Hashcash ate Phil's
