on the move
So, I spent a lot of today thinking and messing with this blog, wondering where to put it and exporting and importing experimentally, etc.
I was pretty sure I was planning on moving things over to Wordpress, whose free service has been my favorite for hosting course blogs and for setting other people up with their own spaces.
The deal breaker is that I cannot put my twitter feed into a free Wordpress blog; I must host it myself to run the scripts. Wah. So I'm kind of now wondering if I'll scrape up the money for server space and domain registration...but then I'd be unsure if I would want to continue with Movable Type, or what... I like Movable Type, although I find it to be just past what my regular intuition can mess with every six months. That is, every time I want to do something, I have to kind of relearn it all, and then because it took me so long to figure things out, I rarely go back in, which of course makes it even harder when I *must* go in and do some futzing. In other words: I'm lazy, gimmee some good ol' wysiwyg GUI, gimmee some drag 'n drop. So.
So, I've still done nothing. But in the next few days, as I continue to procrastinate with the revisioning, I expect to have a snazzy new space.

Sure - cut your hair, switch your cell phone, your house address, kids school, your job, and now your blog - I won't recognise you soon! I know life changes and you have to get used to change but it is hard for those that don't move except every 25 years!
