OK, I’ve avoided using hosted blog services forever, but WordPress.com seems pretty darn nice. I like what I’ve seen at Six Apart’s Vox, but that service doesn’t yet offer export. WP.com does, so I’m going to try it. Why am I here? Tired of tweaking Movable Type to avoid the negative effects of “spam storms” to appease my hosting provider. I’ll continue to use MT as the CMS for Manolas, but that’s it for now. Cygweb circa 2002-2006 (made static) will continue to be available at http://alexharden.org/blog/, but my new home is now aharden.wordpress.com. At least, it is until I decide whether or not I want to attach a better domain name to it. I don’t mind pimping WP.com; they have a very nice solution.

- aharden: @scotbuff It's underwhelming from a UI perspective; it's impressive in its focus. I'm interested to see all the devices it will run on.
- aharden: Got the GDGT VMDK of Chromium OS and got it running on Virtualbox. It's got potential: a Google appliance for sure, but it accesses the web!
- aharden: @gotroot801 Almost done - just need to get USB key pass-through to work so I can export the image to it.

Hi Alex–
It depends how tied you are to your permalinks, but did you notice that you can import your MT posts and (for $10/year) move your domain over to this blog?

Yeah, I was thinking about doing just that. I didn’t want to deal with the import/permalink headaches yet. I don’t mind leaving that content where it is and letting it continue to generate the meager Adsense revenue that it does.

Hi there, when it comes to blogs WordPress is the best CMS system out there. But for bigger sites I prefeer Using Joomla.
