Hey readers!
CB Fishes is moving! Blogger has been good to me for the past year, but I thought it was time for a change. I recently switched web hosts (I left GoDaddy for Dreamhost), got the cbfishes.com domain, installed Wordpress, and moved the blog over there!
This site, cbfishes.blogpost.com, will still be here but all new posts will be on cbfishes.com.
I'm still working on setting up the "get CB Fishes delivered to your inbox" thing. If anybody uses Wordpress and knows a good way to auto-mail new posts via email, let me know! I'm still fairly new to WP.
Why did I decide to move?
I like Blogger; it's easy to use, easy to setup, and easy to customize. In some ways, moving to my own server running Wordpress is like making my own lures; I don't really need to, but by doing so I can learn a lot more about how everything works. I also use Wordpress for work, and I figured this is a great way to get even more familiar with it. Already I've learned some tricks I'll most certainly use on the job.
Warning: technical jargon ahead!
Also, I like being able to edit CSS files, install plugins via FTP; make quick edits via the command line... Lots of little geeky things that are somewhat unnecessary.. But I want to learn how it all works. Not to mention the fact that now I'm in control of all my data, whereas here on Blogger I can't really get to the actual php or html files. Hosting my own blog, I can backup my whole site with a simple scp or rysync command. I can even create cron jobs. It's pretty cool.
...end of technical jargon.
So from now on, head on over to the new cbfishes.com! Pardon the dust while I get things tweaked...
Do you like the new design? Are you sad I'm leaving Blogger? Let me know in the comments!
