Ben McMurry

Well, in the transition I lost my RSS feed. So if you are one of the 7 people that are subscribed to my blog via Google Reader, you will want to subscribe to the new location. You can go to blog.benmcmurry.com and resubscribe through your browser OR you can enter this URL directly in Google Reader. feed://blog.benmcmurry.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss I'm sorry to those 7 individuals for the inconvenience. Well, one of the seven is me. So I apologize to the 6 others.

I really like wordpress. It's functional and aesthetically pleasing. It's easy to use, open-source, and customizable. But, there are some things that I don't really like that much. I don't like the constant updating of the software. It seemed like every time that I logged in it was time for an update. I also didn't like the commenting system. So, I decided to move to blogger. There shouldn't be any hiccups, but it will take me a few days to get the layout like I want. So, thanks for your patience.

I just downloaded a very cool app from iTunes. It allows me to post to my wordpress blog directly from my iPod touch. You have to be connected to the Internet when you set it up. It gets all the important information including former posts, comments, and categories. Once you setup your initial account, you can set up other accounts. The blog can be hosted on your own server or the wordpress.com hosting site. Also, after you set it up, you don't need Internet access. You can create or edit you posts. I assumed that you could set it to upload automatically when you have an Internet connection, but It looks like you have to come back and publish it when you have a connection. This is my first post using the app and so far I really like it and recommend it to ant wordpress bloggers out there.

I realized that I probably don't want my blog in the root of my website. So, I'm moving it to http://blog.benmcmurry.com. Please update your feed readers as such. I am going to try to make a symbolic link to the feed, but that might not work. Thanks!
