Got Flash?

Change is in the air
Blogger, which I've been using for years to post these news updates on this site, has recently announced that they're shutting down their FTP publishing, which is what I've been using here and on most of my other blogs.
This means I'll have to reformat things around here to work with the Blogspot system before May 1, a task which will be made easier by the fact that I've already migrated a couple of my blogs over to that system already, such as Rants in my Pants (my personal blog). I've been working on migrating the Pink Lemonade production diary there, as well, and that will be done before this news page is. Might be about time for a little redesign here as well.
The good thing about this forced migration is that I'll be able to use some of the more useful Blogspot widgets here and there, making navigation and tag searching easier, and probably providing an alternative progress gauge for the production diary that would be better than the little Flash chart I'd been using. I can also add more options to track the progress using whatever news aggregators you may prefer.
In addition to this, the gallery that I had been using to display some of the art here has gone under, and will not be returning, as far as I understand. Therefore, I've begun to explore my options over at Deviant Art, where I now have a skeleton gallery. Again, it'll probably be better and more flexible than the galleries I have hand-coded here on this site, so I expect I'll be shutting down those old pages once I've migrated the art over there.
So, all in all, change is coming, but perhaps it's change for the better.
