We’re working on migrating Jake’s blog from Blogger to WordPress over the next week or so. So this is a holding message until we go live with the new site. Back soon, with tales of the new agility season …
About Jake
-
Jake is a black & tan lurcher. (Huh? That's not a lurcher!)
Jake was adopted from Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home in August 2004. He now lives the life of Riley in a leafy suburb of Edinburgh. His interests include agility, running like the wind, enticing other dogs to chase him, fellow sighthounds Molly & Steve, squirrels, swans, plush swans, swans on telly, Portobello beach, the Edinburgh hills, sofas, & snoozing.
Jake wears Earth Dog hemp collars. His collar tag (compliant with KC agility regs) is from the excellent Indigo Collar Tags.

I'm wondering why you are migrating, and whether you will lose all your old posts.
I've been not getting round to moving to WordPress for years but the catalyst is that on 1 May Google pulls support for FTP users of Blogger. If you don't know about it, you're not affected. I've done a test migration & all my posts and comments moved across fine. I need to do some tweaking so links to pics work and to fiddle with DNS settings. I'm very taken with WordPress so far. Trying to squeeze this in round a busy agility life & work is actually the worst thing!
