It is often funny how things come around. I've always hosted my own blog, using Wordpress, on my own site. I have always suggested to friends and co-workers who have asked me about blogging that Wordpress and your own site was the best way to go. You had full creative control and a nice looking web address.
Yet here I am, using Blogger and for the moment using a Blogspot address. Why?
As I move into my fourth and final block at school, I found myself redesigning my own personal website. Reshaping it into a site more devoted to showing off my skills and helping me land a job in the industry. In a nutshell it had to morph from a journal type website into a portfolio type website. There was no longer any place for my blog on the front page, although it could have been moved to a subpage on the site. However the more and more I thought about it, I realized that while I wanted to retain at least one blog, I also wanted somethign quick and easy and hands-off so to speak. I wanted to not have to focus on it too much.
As a result, I decided to make the move here. I already use lots of other Google services, and Blogger is rather well known. It is easy, and efficient. And to top it all off, at least one of my classmates also uses Blogger. Eric Haas is located at http://ericatrandom.blogspot.com
So there you have it. My new blog and possibly a few other blogs, will live here powered by Blogger. I may however use some of the Blogger features to publish the blog at my own domain sometime in the near future.
