A new beginning

This post marks a transition from the days of LiveJournal to a new WordPress blog that I will host myself.
I’ve been fighting the idea of switching to my own blog system for a long time because of the easy of use that LiveJournal offers. This changed when I did some research to setup Andrea’s blog/site. I had first configured a Movable Type system but it seemed to complicated to just hand over to someone to use as a means to maintain a website. Then came WordPress, which I had actually glanced over in my first round of evaluations. On the second look I realized it was a pretty slick system that offered most of the features I needed.
After some hacking all my LiveJournal posts(sans comments) have been migrated over to this system for long-term preservation.
