An Announcement that Will Shake Biblioblogdom to Its Very Foundations

No, I’m not talking about the fact that Irreverend Mr Ker has named me one of the most dangerous Bible bloggers of 2008—though, as I noted there, I am very pleased that the very great dangers I pose to biblioblogging civilization have been recognized at long last. Nor am I talking about the auspicious reappearance of the organigram of the World Wide Blogging Syndicate, which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jim West is the Boss Tweed of Biblioblogdom. What is it, then? Well, my gentle snowflakes, brace yourselves. I hereby announce my decision to switch to WordPress effective on the implementation of threaded comments in that blogging platform.

It is well known, of course, that I have been greatly tempted to do this in the past, but my resistance to change is such that I simply could not bring myself to do it in spite of the constant pleas of many. Among the chief moaners advocates of such a change are Nick Norelli and David Ker. The Irreverend Mr Ker has often accused me of anti-Third World bias pointed out that the Blogger platform is more difficult to access from underdeveloped countries, for which observation I’m very thankful. And I likewise remain deeply grateful to Nick, who routinely threw a hissy fit suspended his usual embargo on Blogger blogs to comment here. His whining kindness has paid off handsomely in the end.

I must emphasize, however, that this decision is contingent on the implementation of threaded comments on WordPress. I cannot move for any less than that. When the time is fulfilled, then, I will make a final announcement here, and direct all to The Voice of Stefan‘s new address so that those so inclined may update their bookmarks and feed aggregators.
