Holdfast

A blog post about blogging, rather than nature:

Now that I have finally put the spring semester to rest, I have moved on to Major Summer Project #1: Repurposing my blog over at Wordpress. I have finally navigated the murky waters between the .com and the .org versions (I should go with .org, but I know myself and I am lazy about Important Things like backing up, so .com makes more sense), and spent most of the day trying to mentally and technologically prepare myself for the move. 

And yet. Much as I know I should do this, must do this, I remain conflicted. And the reason is completely superficial: Wordpress blogs are not aesthetically appealing. In the least. And that goes for even the *premium* templates (i.e. the ones that aren't free). Despite my, um, issues with Blogger over the past year, I have grown pretty attached to this particular place, both its content and its appearance.

The lack of visual appeal, however, is not enough to prevent the inevitable. I have - after recent lessons learned - saved saved saved - and will update with the new home when the space filled with moving is full. However unattractive it may be.
