Hey there, sorry for the sudden change.
We were going to go with a more complicated and costly setup for blogging: running Wordpress software on our own hosting account.
Self-hosted Wordpress setup is the ultimate for control and flexibility but customizing everything was taking way too long.
And then... my biggest annoyance happened: downtime!
HostGator promises 99.9% uptime. Well, being down for 30 minutes this morning just pretty much broke that promise. I'm only willing to give them one chance and they blew it. So, I'll be calling them for a refund and hopefully they will honor their 45-day money-back guarantee.
Let's hope Google's Blogger will not disappoint on their reliability.
While it will be a little bit more restrictive then running our own blogging software it should make up for it with performance and the price: FREE! Can't go wrong with that! (And it would be nice to never have to worry about your host.)
Yeah we can go with the free hosted Wordpress (wordpress.com)... but Blogger is much better with customization freedom -- the ability to fully modify the templates and stylesheet, and the biggest one, the ability to add Javascript! That's huge for us since we're looking to do more than just simple blogging.
Please be patient as we re-point the domain name and re-setup other features to work with Blogger.
We have a cool little video on its way:
"Top 5 Mistakes To Avoid When You're Overleveraged or Facing Foreclosure"
Stay tuned!
