Back to Wordpress
Well, after a year or so on Live Journal, I’m back to Wordpress. I have had my own hosting for some time, but hadn’t really looked into what Wordpress can do when you’re not using an account at wordpress.com. It’s pretty nifty. The editor is far more seamless; it’s a jillion times more customizable, and who knows, maybe I’ll do a podcast some day.
I’m not leaving Livejournal though. I’m using the cross-posting plugin, so I’ve got the best of both worlds. Come leave a comment over at the new site, so I can make sure my spam filter doesn’t catch any false positives.
Huh? And what did you think about that 5 minute install?
Hosting Wordpress is so easy I am honestly surprised that more people don’t do it themselves.
Actually the install took about ten seconds (disregarding the time on GoDaddy’s end). I just pushed a button that said “Install Wordpress” and created a directory for it.
Even porting over a year of old posts from live journal only took about 20 minutes.
Nice!
