So why did I switch over to Wordpress, you may be wondering?

Flexbility is the main reason. Wordpress lets me do things such as put posts in categories, so it’s easier for you to find what you want to read about. It also lets me decide on when my post appears, so if something is time sensitive I can change when it appears, without having to log on at the exact right moment to publish.

I also just like having things under my own control as much as possible. Posting on Blogspot had some very slight advantages, mostly just being on a different domain, but this also meant that I had no control. My blog could have just as easily vanished overnight. Since this isn’t a spam blog I would be shocked if that happened, but anytime someone else has the control there is that possibility.

I put a lot of thought into this change. I had changed over some of my other blogs previously, so by this time I know exactly how to make the changeover as smooth as possible. Nothing makes it perfect, of course, but I can do this pretty well by now.
