Downsizing and Upgrading

I am still adjusting to this new flavor of WordPress-dot-com. I’ve been playing with a WordPress-dot-org blog hosted on my own domain for about a year. I have taken that down since I decided I am not going to reup for the domain hosting fee due to household belt tightening. Fiddling around with FTP and a lot of other tech stuff, most of which was way, way over my head, in order to blog on my own domain was timeconsuming and frequently frustrating as well.

The dot-com definitely has the advantage of ease as well as being cost-free. The biggest thing that is hooking me about WordPress-dot-com (vs Blogger) is the import feature. It is really nice to consolidate my blogs into one big blog. I am willing to give up Javascript for the ease of pulling all my blogs together.

Next on my agenda is to tag all the posts. This will be sort of time consuming but worth it in the end because the topics are so random. This should make for a nice cloud tag.

I am addicted to PostSecret. My daughter turned me on to it a few years ago and I have it on my My Yahoo page (my home page) and I check it each week for the new secrets. I have “read” all the books, too. It is one of the most moving art works/projects I have ever experienced.

PostSecret now has a some extra content; audio secrets, YouTube videos, a Facebook group,etc.
