haiz..i’ve finally settled on wordpress.com for a reliable blog service. so much apologies for having to hitch a ride on my blog-hopping adventure, having gone through different permutations for firestinger.xxx.com.
My preference for a blogging service has always been a user-friendly and highly editable blogging platform like wordpress and to a lesser extent, Blogger. And backed by a reliable, free and not to mention, ad-free hosting service. I was previously on a great one, until they started imposing ads on every single page. That kinda screwed up the blog’s theme. Exasperating for a quick fix, i hopped onto a few services at the same time (talk about kiasu-ism), but was let down by an irritating cookie bug that kept me logged out of the
user logins.
So, i settled on wordpress.com. WordPress is actually installable at any servers, and wordpress.com is really generous enough to also provide hosting space for anyone in need. The drawback though is that the additional functions e.g. counter, stats,
special photo albums are strictly limited to what wordpress.com offers. This kinda writes off the “extremely editable” tag WordPress is well-known for. Nonetheless, no one can beat WordPress.com in terms of nil server crashes and loading times – and that
is enough to win the hearts of many.
Come to think of it, this experience suddenly reminds me of life. All of us have some goals and expectations in mind, and by default, we have to achieve them to garner happiness and satisfaction. But, sometimes, it is really the basic stuff that we’re really
lacking – and those are usually the very stuff that can make us feel cosy with our lives. Finding an ad-free and fast blog hosting (a hard chore at it) had me crawling in the end, only to revert to the “old and basic” wordpress.com for salvation. It’s pretty much the same for life – one can get PS3s,PS2s,PSPs,Wiis and XBOXes for all he can – but many, especially now, grossly undermine the power of love and care with loved ones and those close to us.
