The end, for now, with my posterous experiment
After playing for a bit with posterous I’ve decided to move http://epcostello.com/ over to WordPress.com for awhile. Posterous, for me, is a bit too simplistic. I know that’s a selling point, and I’m not knocking it, it’s just not what I want for a site right now.
I did like that I could add my Google Analytics id, but otherwise the inability to change the layout of the site at all, to add ads for example, or a twitter feed, or, well, anything pushed me away.
WordPress.com has more flexibility (though it too does not allow ads as far as I can tell, nor the Google Analytics thing, though I have not dived too far into it).
Note that I’ve been writing personal journals on web sites since approximately 1995 (though I would never claim to have been “blogging” since then, only since 2001 or so). The one frustration I’ve had over the years is while running my own site (see http://epcostello.net) gives the most flexibility, it’s also a pain especially with the advent of the Sino-Russo comment spam freaks.
So, I’ll play with wordpress for a bit and see what happens (note: wordpress.com, I am all too well beware of running my own wordpress installation).
