Since I started blogging, I’ve been using the free hosted services at Blogger, Wordpress, and Livejournal.  These solutions are great but the customization leaves a lot to be desired.  So switching to the installed version of wordpress seemed like a good move.  It allows me to use my own domain names and customize to my hearts content.

It is a little intimidating at first.  I know a tiny bit off html, and I have modified CSS before, but I am way not that geek.  Not yet anyway. 

I’m not sure when I’ll be moving shop yet though.  I would like to do some more work on my theme and side bars, and populate some data before I go live.  It would be great if I could import all my wordpress.com posts here.  I’m going to look into that.

Anyway, just my first thougts.  I’m sure that there will be more on this new blogging platform.
