So I finally made the switch over to WordPress from Blogger. Blogger served me well, but WordPress has features and flexibility that Blogger doesn’t have. It’s a lot easier to change the design and it generally functions much smoother. Blogger is actually a bit better with embedding videos, widgets, etc. but WordPress ironically has built in analytics that run on Urchin…which was bought by Google…who owns Blogger. Maybe someday Google will integrate all of the stuff they’ve bought and reclaim control of the internet. I’ll be here for the time being though. The conversion was generally painless, but I need to go back through my posts at some point and brush things up a bit. Also, it maybe worth noting that the tag links associated my posts go to “global” WordPress tags. The “categories” tags on the right side filter the stuff on this blog by tag.  Not sure if anyone clicks those.

Thus far, WordPress seems great. Also, I highly recommend domain purchasing and management provider One and One. Everyone says that blogging platforms and domain providers are the same, but they really aren’t. Thanks to Joe for perfecting the CSS here and Chad for the One and One heads up a long ways back.  I haven’t seen much of Chad since he started running with the horses in the hills west of San Diego a few years back though.

Let me know what you think. Your comment will show up in my new super sweet “recent comments” section..
