I decided to try out wordpress after Blogger decided to do their dynamic page sizing trick – e.g. randomly changing what displays on your blog by the size of the page. Which broke any backup possibilities. You can’t export old posts, and you now can’t mirror them. After they stopped search working and stopped you editing old posts. Which is a pity because I like it and it is easy to use. Also it is broken the work used to generate Not Free SF Reader List and Free SF Reader List. These may return given the database here and given some time to write some new code.
WordPress.com is a piece of crap, where importing your own blog from blogger with the function they provide has them deleting the new blog you have just made for the purpose as a violation of the Terms of Service. Utterly useless.
So, decided to try and import everything to here by writing a script or two. Which mostly worked, but the import function tags some stuff as duplicates in Year’s Best and Space Opera for some reason.
The blogs combined are (and can be found in the blogroll on the right here, too):

The categories on the right – the numbers at the moment apply to Free SF Reader and Not Free SF Reader for the genres and types of fiction.
However, the sub-blogs have their own categories. z space opera, z australia, z superhero, z leigh brackett, for Space Opera Reader, Australian SF Reader, Super Reader, Leigh Brackett (ology) etc.
