Farewell, LJ: a migration is in order

Aug 31, 2008 15:35

Because of the advertisement shenanigans, I have moved on: http://finchwench.wordpress.com/

I do not believe that my readers should be required to log in or to install a Firefox plug-in in order to view my journal without the sight of beefcake (e.g. "Gain 15 lbs. of muscle in 30 days!) juxtaposed with Bulbulicious, while there are other options ( Read more... )

I am very sad to hear this-- I understand, but I know I never remember/have time to read offsite blogs. I will very, very much miss reading your entries here.

I will bookmark you over there and perhaps start a blog on wordpress also. You make a very good point.

WordPress is quite nice (no advertisements, and there are free "stats" and some image hosting). Although, for you, because you like to post broad photos, I would have one criticism. For some reason many of the layouts (which you are not able to customize much without purchasing the css upgrade) have a fixed width at 500 px. I had to scale down some of my posts/images imported from LiveJournal. Many of the WordPress blogs that I have seen are very narrow, but there are a few "flexible width" layouts in which you might have more room with which to work. There is also a layout designed almost as simply as a photo slideshow.

Please let me know if you do try it out; I will add you to my "Blog Roll" (that is Blog-ese for "Friends List," I guess).
