Update 2.0: I will not be updating this blogger site and will be setting it to private in about two weeks. You have been warned!
Previously on the Terrible Blogger…
I wrote a blog about my goals and expectations (somewhat) for the next year, then mentioned how I was thinking about moving to wordpress… I took the plunge!
While I really wanted my own domain, I decided to hold off because I wanted to make it a goal to blog more during this year and as a reward buy my own domain. Therefore, by giving myself more incentive, I’m going to do my best to blog more frequently. I bet you’re all wondering when will this happen, well if you read the past two paragraphs and notice my use of past tense you’ll already know it has happened already!
Now I guess for the question of the hour… Why?
Why did I finally decide to make the switch? Simple really: The app. One of the things I was super excited about when I first started to blog was doing it on the go in quick bursts as I would travel Japan with my smartphone. But I quickly found out that the blogger app was quite limited and not as intuitive as I had thought. Fast forward a couple years later, hopping the blogger app had improved in the time I had not blogged I tried to give it a go once more… sadly nothing had really changed. That’s when I looked at the wordpress app. It was exactly what I wanted. I can upload more than one picture, better link embedding, simple yet highly efficient writing formatting, etc. So on the days I want to blog but have no computer with me or its too cumbersome to take out, I can use my smartphone. Now I have no excuses!
Yes wordpress lacks space, only giving its free users 3GB, however I can always use flickr as a space to store my photos online to use for my blog. I can also maintain the quality of the photo with flickr, therefore giving you the people the chance to see some of my photos in all their glory (my photos aren’t that great but some of them really do benefit from not having to compress, resize and scale down the resolution).
There you people have it. In the next week or so I will work to make sure that people who go to my blogger site are redirected to the wordpress site. I’m also moving though in the next couple of weeks so there is a good chance that the most you might hear of me is in a few photos. I should probably write a post on moving and also do a video at some point but that’s in the future… Until then, まてね！
