Revamped Blog

All Posts 2 Comments

Incidentally, a few months ago I hired someone to revamp my blog. I never got around to mentioning him. So here’s Doug Stuart’s info:

Doug is a blogger who writes about life, the universe, and everything, and a part time designer who has worked in print, web, and video. His background is in communications and technology and has worked for graphic design studios and video production crews. His favorite number is 42. You can visit his website at www.liveloud.net.

Incidentally, I was a cheapska wise steward of resources, and just asked Doug to do a very bare job of transferring my blog from Blogger to WordPress. Oh my gosh, I cannot express enough what an improvement it is. If any of you are still using Blogger, you are doing the equivalent of switching the TV channel without a remote.

    I’d say that Blogger is more like using the remote on a TV that just has basic cable and a connected DVD player, while WordPress is more like using the remote on a TV that’s hooked to a 500-channel dish, a TiVo, a Blu-Ray DVD recorder and six game consoles.

    Which one is “better” depends on what you’re up to. I use both, for different projects.

    If you keep the tube tuned to CSPAN and pick up a movie at RedBox every now and again, Blogger is probably better for you. It’s simpler.

    If you’re trying to find and record all 489 episodes of some long-discontinued anime show while watching the Beeb and playing Halo Reach, WordPress may be a better pick. But it’s more complicated.

    Speaking of more complicated, your blog is throwing off internal server errors when I post comments 😉
