Happy Spring Equinox!
I finally decided that part of the reason I don’t blog much, after losing my old blog and moving back here, is that the mobile app for Blogger is a pain in my ass. It doesn’t understand HTML, so you cannot use it to post images that are hosted elsewhere (like Flickr or Instagram). Instead, if you want to post images, you have to upload them directly to Blogger. For a lot of reasons, I don’t like doing that, and it’s really made me disinclined to blog.
But there is a solution! I moved back to WordPress. Only this time, I am not self-hosting, because that was a whole other pain in my ass. I think this will hit the sweet spot between getting the flexibility I want and not having to deal with the hacking crap that comes with self hosting, which I do NOT want.
The only thing that gives me sadcakes is that I didn’t jump on the .com domain name I wanted fast enough. It was available, but it’s been snatched up. I got the .net domain name, though: http://redpaperboat.net.
I’m still arranging the furniture there, but it’s functional.
