A China blog of one’s own
Welcome to the new digs. Come in, make yourself comfortable. Eh, shoes off, this is still Asia and I’m hosted in Hong Kong. Those of you coming from my old BlogSpot site, great to see you. Anybody new, don’t be shy. Pipe up in the comments and let me know what you think.
I haven’t fully moved in, as you can see by my lack of a theme or widgets or much else beyond my imported posts and blogroll. Much work remains. But all that aside, it’s great to be here, under my own domain name and working off Wordpress. I’m still breaking in the software, but I already like it better than Blogger for reasons I’ll detail later.
Again, welcome, and enjoy the coming conversation.
Update: Theme added. Sidebar meddled with. How’s it looking?
Update 2: New blogroll added. Tried to install a real home page. Failed. About page is gone, too. This is harder than I thought it would be. Still having fun.

I saw on your blogspot blog that you’re planning to maintain it for another month or so? Any reason for that? Rather than confuse/divide your readership - why not just put a link to redirect them here? (after you get themes figured out and such).
PS: if you need any WP help, just ask.

I’m not going to hold onto it too long, a month is the absolute limit. As soon as things are functioning here, I’ll happily be done with Blogger. Mostly it’s just a matter of easing the transition for the readership and myself alike. People are still linking to the old site, and I still have things to move.
I may indeed shoot you a few questions about WP. Much more to play with here than with Blogger.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Wordpress, you will not regret it. If you need a kick-ass header with animals getting shot ‘n junk shoot me a mail.

@TaiTai: I’ll keep that in mind. Maybe I can do some coloring with those Sinocidal crayons?
@CLB: Thanks. More to come. Stay tuned.
