I’ve moved to new, sponsored blog hosting which will also republish some articles from other sites that I write on. I’m doing quite a bit of WordPress-based work now, so it makes sense for me to use it too.
I’ll be reconfiguring my other sites to point to this one over the next few days. The actual content of the posts won’t be changing much – no pay-for-post here – but it should open up a few more options.
Just to give some sort of continuity, here are links to archives of my previous main blogs: April-July 2008, 2005-April 2008.
If you’ve got any questions about the changes, please ask them in a comment… Also, if you spot any outrageously bad sponsors on the site, let me know – I’ve blocked one category already.
Hi MJ – like the fact that your old RSS feed is working for this new blog. Not a big fan of ads on any blog, to be honest, so am pleased that I’ll be reading the RSS version of your new site!
Am sure that using wordpress will make your life easier!
Hi Dave – glad it works for you. The old feed location is actually mirroring the new blog, for various reasons, so there may be a slight delay in seeing posts that arrive that way. The feed shouldn’t ever contain ads because it goes to various ad-free services.
I’m not sure either way about using WordPress to be honest, but it’s one less piece of software for me to maintain unpaid.
