I just finished moving the blog from Blogspot to WordPress. I am leaving the safety of the Google sandbox for the wild world of private hosting 
Now, I finally have full control of the website, and I’m gonna put a lot more content on it than just articles! But don’t worry, I won’t stop writing articles, either 
WordPress is infinitely more powerful than Blogger. It’s written in php, and I have access to all the files, so there’s nothing I can’t do! I wrote a little about the problems I was feeling in Blogspot in the article, How To Improve Blogspot. While some of the things I suggested there are a little bit pie-in-the-sky for Blogspot, all those features are at my disposal now with WordPress.
Converting from one publication software to the other is a big hassle. I’m glad it’s done. I still have some loose ends to finish tying. But the big work is done. Yay!!!
I really want to make this blog successful and get a lot of readers. I’m very excited about making use of the awesome new machinery now at my command.
hey,
i think youre doing a good job, and your blog is very interesting.
i specially like the posts on japan, since i am leaving for japan in less than 2 weeks!
it would help to have a link to access your blog archive.

Yeah, the new design is MUCH superior than the previous one, truly. Great stuff! I look forward to seeing some new stuff. And don’t shy away from language too much. It’s what got me reading in the first place.
