So, I've finally taken the plunge and set up WordPress on my main domain. Don't panic; I'm not leaving LJ -- there's too much community here for me to leave. But I will start posting on my domain's blog. Whether this will be in addition to or separate from my LJ is still to be determined; I suspect it will be a combination of the two.
Why? A few reasons -- one, I found I haven't read my friends page in such a very long time, and it doesn't look like that situation's going to change any time soon. Two, I view LJ more as a social networking site than a blogging platform. Blogging is about me and my thoughts, and I want to keep those separate from my social networking side (not that I have been a stellar success in that side of it for a long time...). Three, I like being in total control of my toys... and I can only do that with a software package completely under my control. Fourth -- and this is total vanity here -- at LJ I'm one voice in 18.3 million. At my own domain, I'm the only voice.
So. Short story, I'm not leaving LJ. I'm just... expanding. If you want to follow along, you can find me at http://patchwolf.com/. I've enabled OpenID on my blog, so you can even comment by logging into your LJ account.
See you there?
