Giving WordPress a go
I’ve been intending to do this for quite some time, but I’m finally giving WordPress a try at my bo.cornbreadtree.org/log site. Never fear, I don’t intend to switch to it until I have a facility to automatically push all posts to LiveJournal. LiveJournal friends shouldn’t be able to tell a difference (other than the fact that I’ll actually be posting again). Hopefully the synch code will be ready by the end of this week. It’s a simple bit of Python which I will gladly make available to anyone who wants it.
Using WordPress (or some other self-hosted weblog) gives me some flexibility beyond what LiveJournal gives. Searching posts will be much easier (particularly nice if you have tons of private posts with links and such). Pushing to LiveJournal (rather than telling people to subscribe to a LiveJournal RSS feed) still allows me to receive emails with LJ comments, and LJ folks never know the difference.
Contact me if you’d like to give it a try.
