moving my series of tubes
I'm about 80 percent sure that I'm going to jump the livejournal ship very soon. I already have a wordpress blog set up and ready to go.
This blog you're reading right now is my second (after having a blogspot page for about two and a half years), and I swore I wouldn't jump over to another host again, but the time has come. Mainly, I feel that the livejournal community is too insular. I feel like all I ever read are my LJ friends pages (which I admittedly love). As a result, I hardly ever read the other non-LJ blogs I used to check out on a daily basis. I will still keep this site alive, if only to have access to my LJ friends pages in one convenient spot. But I won't be updating anything here.
Wordpress seems a bit more user-friendly and open to more customization that LJ. It seems like a lot of the things I want to do to my LJ page require a plus account, and frankly, I can't see paying for a blog when I can maintain one for free. I have a pro Flickr account, but it's dirt cheap and totally worth the money. This is different.
I will likely launch the wordpress site "officially" in the next few days. I need to learn my way around before committing to it officially.
