Moving – Lock, Stock, and Barrel

 As a blogger, one takes great satisfaction in knowing that one is being read. Live Journal, with its friends list and extremely user friendly comments system guaranteed a certain audience to even the sorriest of my posts. However, it is now trying very hard to push me away and this morning, it succeeded. 

While trying out Chrome, I realized that unless I am logged in to LJ, I see tons of ugly ads on my page. Now, I have the basic account, with no extra user icons, that promises an ad-free Web page. So why is that everyone else can see ads on my web page? 

I am going to miss it. I am going to miss you and come back hoping to find a new post by you. But I am moving nonetheless. If you care, you can find me here. 

I shall probably see you on some social networking site. Until then, be good.

Yaay! Wordpress!

Yes, LJ friends and Commenting are unparalleled; but other features have not been upgraded.
WP is amazing for the serious (or semi serious writer)
:-)

And note this announcement!

I do have a paid a/c, but will not renew and go Basic! Shudder at what others will have to bear! :-(
I switched to WP more than a year ago, and am completely ga-ga!

If you need any help or tips on WP, let me know

I liked. Actually, I mainly like it because it follows the google's minimalistic approach. It also combines the good points of Opera and Firefox. Try it. :)

its weird how you've never noticed the ads on LJ before. i know you were a paid user, but this means you never visited any of our poor, plebian pages before? Tsk. Tsk.
Wordpress is nice. I blog there secretly. hehehe... have fun.

Dude, I know about the ads but earlier the ads were only on the journals that were a plus account (i.e had extra icons in return of ads) but now all pages will have ads that will be displayed to people who are not logged in to LJ. That, I say, is crappy.

And I did visit and comment on friends' pages all the time. :)

Nope. I had to manually generate XML for posts of each month starting 2003 and upload on wordpress.

Ads?

Well, i wonder what makes one think Live journal is good. I am seeing some of the live journal pages for the first time and it is havoc. I think, even blogger is way better than this.

I myself, use Joomla. It is pretty neat.
