WordPress is a Go
Bye bye Blogger.com… In order to take advantage of more powerful blogging software, I’ve decided to move away from Blogger.com. As easy as Blogger.com was to use, I wanted more functionality and flexibity. I researched some alternatives and decided to give WordPress a try. Other than my new hosting service (BlueHost), everything is free! I’m looking forward to some new functionality and experimentation with the hundreds of WordPress plug-ins available out there on the web.
So as of right now, no more This Just In or PicXels (my photoblog). My new blog is now Exit 171 and my photoblog is Exit 172 (yes, they’re both real exits on the Garden State Parkway that will get you to Woodcliff Lake). I’ll keep my former sites up for awhile and will also still maintain a couple of shared blogs on Blogger, but for the most part I’m now live with WordPress!

What is to become of Smugmug?

Hi Javiso! Welcome back.
Smugmug still lives. It will be my central repository for all photos (other than my RAZR moblog pics, where I’ll use Flickr). I’m using Smugmug for my photoblog (Exit 172) now.

I like the Wordpress theme you’ve got here. Looks like a pretty successful transition.

Thanks Kurt. You’ve done a nice job with your blog too. I’m having a great time with Wordpress.
