I’ve gotten a little tired with the lack of updates that have been made to Vox over the past several years. It’s like Six Apart has totally forgotten about us over here.

And that made me think that there’s just about 3 years of my life archived on this website and there’s no way for me to get at it if the worst happens and Vox goes down. And I’d hate to lose a lot of these postings. So I’ve decided I’m going to start transitioning over to hosting my blog on my own website.

Back when I first started with Vox I tried wordpress hosted on my own site and didn’t like it quite as much. It wasn’t as smooth, didn’t have as good support for multimedia stuff and I had to really deck it out with plugins in order to get it working how I wanted it to. But I tried it a couple days ago again and it’s definitely come quite a long way.

Right now I’m posting in both places at the same time while I go post by post and transfer 3 years worth of posts over to my own wordpress. It’s currently located at http://www.nopurpose.org/blog/, but that’s not the final design at all and there’s a bunch of fine tuning I need to do to make it work right. I’m still going to post both places for the time being…going to take me a while to transfer everything over. I’m 1/10th of the way done now.

Even if I don’t make the transition entirely, I’ll at least have a backup of what has become my online journal. I definitely don’t want to lose some of these notes and experiences.
