Powered by Wordpress!

After almost a year in Blogspot, Crimson Crux is now proudly powered by Wordpress. Forget the lengthy URL of old; you can now access this blog through ccrux.corsarius.net.

I never had big problems with the Blogspot hosting, but three things helped me decide to make the switch:

Wordpress’ oft-mentioned flexibility and extensibility
My experience with my first WP blog, which I put up for my CW 198 class
Wordpress’ Import functionality

Speaking of the last item, you can import posts (and sometimes comments) from an RSS feed, a Blogger account, a LiveJournal, and Dotclear, Textpattern, and MovableType blogs. As expected, there were many formatting errors with the imported posts, but none that you can’t easily fix. (Unfortunately, Wordpress doesn’t seem to import the img title tags, so you have to retype the code for them.)

Wordpress is the most SEO friendly blogging platform. Blogger can do the basic job but WP has so many powerful plugins that allow you to customise your site. You will be glad that you made the change.
