Welcome to the new blog (not quite the same as the old blog)…

 

A very warm welcome to the new home for my blog. 

If you’re reading this via an RSS feed or email, there’s no need to re-subscribe as the Feedburner feed has been pointed at the new blog: you’re all set…

Thanks to a WordPress-savant friend of mine, all of the posts, links, comments and images have also been migrated across to this one from the old Open. 

He tells me that the biggest lesson of the exercise is: if you are seriously thinking about buying a blog, find yourself a geeky pal and get it set up on your own domain from the start. It gives you a lot more options as you develop it in future. 

Please do let me know what you think…

It’s from a finished article, but being a committed part-timer I’ll be tinkering and building this house as I go along.

  1. I always advise to have your own domain, otherwise you are locked into their system and never know if the blog provider is going turn off/limit their service in the future. Also with the availability of open source blogging software it is fairly easy to do.

  2. I’d totally agree about hosting a blog yourself, plus WordPress is pretty much the best platform out there! Go open source!

  3. Mr Mayfield – I’m a big fan of this new look blog. Have been thinking about moving mine over to a tasty wordpress theme, but been a bit nervous about the whole thing. Yours looks ace. I might have to have another tinker with it.
