After the recent outrage where the boss of Automattic effectively shit on his volunteers over at wordpress.com I decided to take my personal stand.
I have moved my Mini Blog away from wp.com and have installed it (unfortunately still using WordPress) at http://www.cornellfinch.com/miniblog.
This also has the benefit of giving me full control over themes and plugins too.
I will be archiving and making private my Geek Rants blog and deleting my digital imagery blog. I just can’t be arsed to write four blogs when I don’t really have enough substantial content for two.
I will be registering a domain name for The Mini Blog, if anyone has any suggestions then please let me know!
You are making the right move for sure. I’m glad I got out when I did. Timethief waited too long. She’s now been made “inactive”. All her comments left on wordpress.com blogs have been eaten by Akismet for the last 3 days and she never had that problem before. Also all of the categories and tags on her last 3 posts at http://wpbloggingtips.com that used to appear on the wordpress.com global tag pages have disappeared completely.
opps! please edit that url in the last comment it should have been http://wpbloggingtips.wordpress.com
Hmm, theminiblog.com is taken.
I hate coming up with domain names.
