I Is Back

It may be less codily versatile here, but it attracts more traffic and has more features (like the much important RSS feed). So from now on, this will be my home on the net. And I must say, hasn’t it improved since I last came here? If only I had better access to the internet, I could spend more time sharing my thoughts and making this a worthwhile visit for all you people stupid enough to come here anyway. Roll on moving out and going to uni, that’s all I can say!

Anyway, laters people, I’ll post more important/interesting stuff soon.

Update: I love the import tool [ass-hat]. Everything categorised under “Uncategorized” is what I wrote under the influence of Blogger.

Who Shall Host Me?

At this rate, I might return my ‘blog to the categoryless land of Blogspot due do WordPress’s philanderings. To me, presentation of a website is everything: if it looks bad, I’m not interested. WordPress do not allow you to mess about with the stylesheets, so I have to choose one off of a list. I don’t necessarily like any of these. Actually, the one I did like has now been slightly modified so that the headings in the sidebar look awful and as a result, I’ve had to change to a less aesthetic theme.

Problems:

WordPress	Blogspot
No style flexibility	No categories
Impossible to insert scripts (say, for Google analytics)	No import function

I expect that Blogspot will soon include a feature allowing people to import their ‘blogs: they have addressed this problem in their FAQs. The idea of not having categories puts me off working around the first problem for now.

Recently, I wanted to introduce Google Analytics to this site, but WordPress wouldn’t have it: any Javascript was soon changed to simple HTML. This would not be a problem on Blogspot. I am currently deciding what to do; any help would be much appreciated.

EDIT: I’ve just noticed that this style does not make full use of categories. I am now working on a Blogspot profile.
