Tumblr. Wordpress. Squarespace. Posterous. TypePad. During the past couple of weeks, I found myself looking for a new blogging engine for my personal blog. I was on Tumblr for the longest time, but despite their $40M funding, they just can't seem to keep their servers up. I exported my blog to Posterous, but I found myself bored with them quickly mainly due to their plain interface. I felt myself at a loss for options for where I could/wanted to host my blog. However an archived post in TechCrunch from December reminded me that Blogger was proven to be more reliable that Tumblr, my current platform at the time.
That post convinced me to switch to Blogger, for a number of reasons. Reason one is the 0% downtime compared to Tumblr which had almost 50% downtime. Secondly, Blogger links to my Google account, which makes it easier for me not to have to manage another account for another platform. Finally, the simple and easy interface for posting articles and managing settings. It's not as easy as Tumblr, but pretty darn close.
In conclusion, what I'm getting at in this post is "Welcome to my new blog" When I start blogs, I like to import my existing content to it, but for this one, I'm starting fresh. If you care to read my old blog, it's over here. I hope you enjoy my updates, ramblings, rants and raves on my blog.
Enjoy.
