This week...

I will be traveling to Reno, Nevada today on business and will be there the rest of the week. I have a few posts swirling in my head that want out, and I have been noodling with a site design change.

I am thinking about converting the blog to a different host, and could use a few recommendations. I have looked at Word Press and Movable Type, but I'm not sure I want to pay fees. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has done this before, what their experiences have been.

Any pros and cons? Any pitfalls? Any comments would be appreciated, site traffic has picked up dramatically, and I am considering doing several things associated with that. I am also interested in a multi-page blog, where I could pull together another blog, and possibly separate out some topics. I may also, have some guest writing done.

Thanks

I use ipowerweb and they have a free install of wordpress. then customize it like crazy. wordpress is also the PDA blog. I am a huge fan.

Keep us posted on how it turns out. I've been depating between a WordPress conversion and simply upgrading to the new Blogger version. I'll be intersted in your experience with your port.

Do the other two allow guest or anonymous comments? Cat's blog is on Wordpress and you have to register there to post a comment. I've tried registering twice and never received their confirmation e-mail. So from a reader's point of view that sucks.

(And speaking of suckitude - I converted to the stupid beta version so I can't even leave comments as myself here now. Oh the travails of the early adopter.)

Thanks guys. If I can get the new concept rolling, it should be very interesting...but the platform is going to be very important for this to work.

blogger is just killing me.

I am also going to need to find a few writers/contributors on a few different subjects...of course I have to do this in my spare time, which is dissappearing, so hopefully I can get it to go off.

Here's a new one I hadn't heard of before:

You might check with Rob Salkowitz at Emphasis Added. I think he was trying this out:
