The past 2 weeks I’ve been busy with exams, but the past 2 days I’ve been busy with migrating my blog over here. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, and have hinted it in the past 1, but never really got around to it. I got me a nice new domain, and had this server space going to waste. So I thought why not :)
I’ve imported all the posts over from my Blogger account (The Last Word), and the comments. It was really simple thanks to Wordpress’ importing tool. I’ve been working on the template all the while, and I think I’ve managed to cook up something nice, simple and usable. I’m using a few plug-ins, and they’re all rather simple but useful. Plus, I finally get to have a separate ‘random’ link list (the ‘Surfings’ on the right). It’s not really a three-column template, but yeah!
As far as the name goes, I wanted to change it from ‘The Last Word’. It was pretty obvious mine was not the last word. Although, I am a geek (as my friend puts it), and I’m proud of it – and considering the subject matter of 80% of the posts here will be ‘geeky’, I figured a topic related to geek would be a welcome change. But ofcourse, with a name change comes a URL change, and everything else changes. I’m not very fussy about the page-rankings and Technorati rankings 2, but I will have to put you readers through a little bit of trouble of updating feed addresses. Next weekend, I will change the feed address of this blog completely over to ‘Geekaholic’ and disable the old feed address. This will kind of work to give me an accurate ‘active’ reader count. So please, begin updating your feed readers :)
Now let’s see how quickly I get bored of this ;)

I didn’t have ranks to be proud of anyway :P ↩

Whoa! Suddenly, many people started to wake up…and at the same time too. I am also in the process of moving to wordpress. :P
Yep! Avatar was telling me today how a lot of people have shifted … and he’s one of the few (the only?) left!
Avatar? He was killed in a freak fishing accident I heard.
The only one left? What am I? Chopped liver? Hrmpph. :-)
Welcome to your new home then, took me awhile to find it.
@phydeaux3 » Nah, he’s very much alive :P Spoke to him 2 days back :) Did I say ‘only-one’? My bad … I meant one of the few of the (cheekily coined back then) ‘bleet’. I’d love to see you make the jump too though buddy, it sure as hell feels lighter on this side of the bridge :P
Well Blogger is just fine for me. Wordpress is a nice tool and all, but I’m cheap and don’t want to pay for hosting so Blogger is the best choice. IF I did buy hosting and want a more-than-just-a-blog website, I’d probably go with Joomla over Wordpress. I’ve had been playing around with it on a local install and like it better than WP. At least until I trashed my installation, need to reinstall it again at some point here.
And who knows, I may just disappear at any point in time anyway. This whole blog stuff. blah. :-)
How comes we can’t comment on your linked articles?
@phydeaux3 » Because they’re just links … the main essence is in the linked post. So if you have any comments, they should be directed there :)
Yeah, but my comment wasn’t relevant to the linked article, only what you said about it ! :-)
