DISQUS

Daniel J. Pritchett · 1 year ago

Hey Louis, how are you liking blogger on your domain? I have my own domain too but but my pages are still hosted by blogger which comes with the unsightly banner.

I've been contemplating a jump to standalone hosting for 2009 and Wordpress seems like a good fit for me. Yours is the only blog I've noticed that looks like a "publish new posts from blogger to my outside domain" setup. Is it good for you?

Daniel, Blogger on my domain is fine. The 99.9% of the time it is up,
it works great. When there are issues of any kind, I'll scream bloody
murder. (That's typical for most of us tech bloggers)

I used this setup because I already had the domain name and could post
to FTP without needing server side SQL. My account at Register.com
hosting isn't the most robust on the planet. If you can get a Web host
that supports Wordpress and all the bells and whistles you want, I
don't have a good reason to persuade you to use Blogger instead. But
now that I've been on it for some time, I'm unlikely to switch.

Thanks. If I can ensure that I won't break my old URLs when switching to WP I'll probably make the switch.
