Any day now, the fishingjones.com url will bring you here.

One theological argument from back in the day surmised that the universe runs according to design, and any design must have a designer, proving the existence of God. Some theologians carried that a step further, making the argument that God designed the universe but then skipped town. That’s how I feel about eponym, my former blog host. I switched to them a year and a half ago, and loved the simple template design and ease-of-use. But then their customer service and support staff seemed to disappear, maybe to Mexico or the back roads of Myanmar.

At heart, I am a Darwinist, and I turned to WordPress in accordance with survival of the fittest. So far it all seems pretty copacetic. One snag: I exported an XML file of my old eponym blog posts, but it doesn’t seem compatible. I may lose a year and a half of content–not including my Retro archive on the old blogspot blog–but that may not be a bad thing.

    WordPress is a great piece of blog software. Welcome to the darkside. ;)

  2. It’s at least 10 times better than the other two blog hosts I’ve used in the past.

    Pete,

    It looks great. I need to bite the bullet and move everything from blogger but just can’t bring myself to take the time to start over. Maybe some day.

  4. Thanks Murdock. Actually from blogger I don’t think it’s that hard to do. They’re a way to directly import it into wordpress. Not so with my other provider.
