Welcome, Mark. On Blogger I was Charles Z, and here under a different name. I pray for a world where I can happily use my real name, but I don't waste on hopium on that.

Excited to see you here, Mark. Great to know you'll be able to continue thinking and writing without big brother and his big tech lackeys looking over your shoulder.

Thanks. Couldn't have happened without MC--he made the import possible when I couldn't get it to work. It's unfortunate that we couldn't bring the comments, but ...

I'm getting used to the layout and tweaked a few settings. Unlike with WordPress, I'm up and running quickly and it should only get better.

Glad to be here, Mark, and glad you've found a new home that won't try to control you. Pretty much all the people I follow have moved here so you're in good company.

There's a REAL Dr. Jill, and then there's "Dr. Jill."

The settings page has a lot of parameters that I don't truly understand, but I seem to have enough of them set right that I'm good to go for ordinary purposes.

My concern now is for the reader experience.
