Another inch toward Wordpress

Alex here in Dalian emailed me this tidbit:

Three out of every four unique Blogspot.com URLs that appeared in the top 50 results for commercial queries were spam, the study said. Blogspot is the hosting site for Google’s blogging service. Blogs created for marketing purposes are sometimes referred to as “splogs.”

And I assure you, Google, I am not one of them. Move is definitely happening. Just have to pick a server (I’m looking in Hong Kong), pack all my content into a virtual pickup and maybe get a friend to help me arrange furniture…er…widgets. Don’t worry, though. I won’t disappear from this space for a while.

Oh, and BlogSpot is blocked again, for fuck’s sake….

  1. Looks like you’re getting stuff set up here on your new domain.. coolness. All your recently imported posts that had links to my posts just pinged me :-) I feel so violated… y’know, in a good way.

  2. That’s a handy gizmo, that ping thing. I’ll have to keep that in mind. This has been my project for today. Next step: Themes. I should probably eat, too.

  3. Little Web design tip - coffee is an excellent meal substitute. Wait, wait… you worked in a news room, you’re well aware of this.
