After gettnig some inspiration on Lifehacker I finally mustered up the courage to move to wordpress. I decided to do so because I have not much interest in maintaining a blogging system and would like to use some thing which has a solid user base (which gurantess a good eco-system of themes and plugins). Even though it may not be the fastest platform (rails on mongrel) or the coolest to code to work with (hand coded haskell CGI) I am happy with what it has to offer so far.
As you read this I have also moved on from Linode.com to HostEurope.de. Linode was a good service, but I needed a service closer to home and with a little more juice (RAM) packed into it. The installation of wordpress on top of Ubuntu LTS was a breeze compared to what had to be done for Ruby on Rails based Typo.
I will be porting my older blog entries slowly (both from Blogger and Typosphere blogs). I am experimenting with themes and plug-ins. If you would like to suggest any of those, please be my guest.
