I switched from blogger.com the Google Blog platform to the hosted wordpress.com of Automaticc, the WordPress blog engine main authors.
I thus gain:
- markdown formatting when writing blog entries, finally !
- running on a opensource core, that I can move locally to my own server if I ever want to fiddle with MySQL and PHP.
I lose:
- free CNAME redirect using my own domain name
- a bit of advertising-free space. The blog at wordpress.com has a prominent header indicating I am using the free plan, but I am OK so far with that.
The new blog address is https://00formicapunk00.wordpress.com/
