There seems to be a lot of microblogging going around, but I want a place to put my writings that are much bigger. I know that having my own website is also an option, but I’m finding filtering ethical hosting providers and website builders to be a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, and I’m afraid that even if I find them, it’s going to be too expensive.
wordpress.com, the hosted wp service, is a pretty solid. still comes with matt, though, but that drama doesn’t really affect you as a wp.com user.
anyone who comes to me about hosting wordpress, i send there. i don’t wanna deal with it, nor do i really want that hackerbot magnet on my boxes.
