Yep, I’ve decided that hosting my own blog isn’t for me anymore and I’ve already moved to Wordpress.com for my “host”. The URL has changed and all the permalinks are exactly the same. Now I don’t have to worry about updates or why my host changed something that broke Wordpress. It is somehow relaxing knowing that my hacks won’t bring down the whole system. Everything seems to be working fine so far which is a complete relief.
When Robert Scoble announced he was moving to Wordpress.com, I’ll admit I laughed at him. I didn’t understand how anyone would want to give up that kind of control. Now I’ve seen the light and am sleeping much better at night!

I see you are one of the biggest blogs on Wordpress these days. I gotta think they are happy you moved over.

I’m not sure they really know much about my blog as it really is a niche (well not for us) area.
They were a big help and very responsive so I’m happy with the move.

You gave up your ads for this? How could you do that?

I hate ads. The only reason I had them were to get a new 17″ MacBook Pro. I’ve earned enough money and I was going to turn them off anyway.

Noticed the new theme right away, and I really like it. I also like that the recent comments links send you directly to that comment and not the top of the post. But, I had no idea you had moved it all over to Wordpress.com, and probably wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t told us.

I noticed, but didn’t want to say anything to upset the GE users
