I have to do this, probably this week or next, and Im not exactly looking forward to it.
Great article Sebastian - as always. Im also looking into moving my blog, but dreading it as well. However, I dont agree completely with the statement "If you dont own the domain, you dont own your content."
Well, in the very least you sure dont have control of it, that much is for sure, at any time they can seize, freeze, or block you from accessing it.
When I cant move my stuff around as I like then somebody fucks me. Probably a law suit could gain me proper post-to-post 301 redirects from my content at blogspot.com to my content at sebastians-pamphlets.com, but being a Web anarchist I believe that I shouldnt bother courts with technical stuff theyll never understand. Id rather state that free hosting blog platforms in general steal content and that Blogger software is flawed. ;) Actually, theres no need for a law suit coz I was able to manage the move w/o support from Blogger, but the warning is warrantable.
