Switching Blog Platforms

I have officially moved from Wordpress to Blogger as my blogging platform. I've done this for a couple of reasons. Most of those reasons revolve around flexibility. Blogger allows me to:
  1. Use my own domain name.
  2. Incorporate AdWords and AdSense.
  3. Not worry about bandwidth or storage space.
I can do most of that stuff with Wordpress, but it costs extra. I can do it all for free with Blogger. But there is one other reason that I decided to change to Blogger. I want to support Google.

Why on earth would I want to support Google? Well, I think that Google puts out good products and I think that they're on the leading edge of technology in a lot of respects. Their Android specification, pending bid on wireless spectrum, and their recent challenge to generate a gigawatt of renewable electricity at a cost below electricity from coal-fired power plants are all reasons I want to support Google's efforts. That and their other stuff rocks too.

So that's that. Please update your bookmarks and RSS readers.

PS - I'm also working on a photoblog. More on that as it develops.
