Hosting myself

Andreas — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 11:20:23 +0000

About half a year ago this blog moved to wordpress.com. As of this post my blog is moving back home to my (virtual) server.

While I have been generally happy with the service provided by wordpress.com I guess I still prefer having the ability to do things my way. I especially enjoy yet again having the blog properly integrated with my Yubikey.

(Bonus being that the blog is yet again reachable using IPv6.)

moving to wordpress.com

As you read this, my blog has moved to wordpress.com. While I do have my own (virtual) server, the blog still ran off a rather vanilla WordPress installation. This way I at least get it hosted with some real redundancy.

As part of the move there is a switch in domain name. The new address is http://blog.bogosity.se/.

(Please updated your bookmarks, feed subscriptions, etc.)

Just for the consistency in change, the blog has also gotten itself a slightly different look.

The blog returns

As hopefully apparent by now, my blog has returned. In addition to giving the blog something of a redesign, I have also been doing some thinking on how to keep it updated.

One reason I tend not to write overly much is that it takes quite a bit for me to accept a post as sufficiently well written, interesting and/or relevant. Of course, no blog posts are no fun either. Twitter (@andol) on the hand comes very natural. Hence I will actively try to allow myself writing shorter blog post, with a simpler language. For now, my blog won’t be pushed to any blog planets.

The new layout is basically a modified, and striped down, version of the default WordPress theme. In short, I’ve primarily made three changes to the design.

Removed all image elements from the theme, saving me the hassle of having to using anything else than Emacs to modify the layout.
Changed the theme color to something else than the default blue. The new color just happened to end up being green.
Made sure the right-sidebar-layout is also used when viewing a single blog post.

If anything looks broken, please let me know.
