Incoherent Musings...

I have shifted my blog from Blogspot to Wordpress.

I actually like Blogspot though. It all started with this. Amusingly comical as it might seem, I am planning to start a Technical Blog shortly. And so, I wanted to organize my posts, which, I simply couldn't figure out how-to-do in Blogspot. I am sure there is a widget around here somewhere that does the trick or a workaround. But I have been unable to find it.

And I ended up googling Wordpress. Wordpress it seems, is not without its fair share of shortcomings. The templates, for instance, would be missed sorely. The templates on offer here are blatantly economical & too simplistic. However, considering the alternative of shelling out 8$ for a web-server (and the nuisance of having to update latest versions, self spam blockage, & constant backup hassles), I guess I need to be content.

And also, somehow, I seem to have impressed upon myself, that Wordpress loads a lot slower than Blogspot on my browser, even though, loading of pages take approximately the same time, when clocked.

And since customization of the templates is a stict no-no in Wordpress.com, it took some time to add a Stats Counter. And customizing your fonts and pictures is a painful experience.

However, the overall experience isn't too bad. The Pages feature was cool, being rated #1 in Forbes list helped, to have imported my previous blog at just a click of a button was amazing, and also, I badly needed a way to organize my posts.

So I guess, its bye bye Blogspot...tsk tsk....
