My Blog Conversion - Hopping On The Bandwagon

"Curiousity Just Killed The Cat"

After prowling online for ways to add features to my blogs, I ran into tons of Wordpress plugins. For those of you new to my site, I've been a user of Pivot for some time now.

Pivot has been great. I don't have any complaints about it. In fact, I find it much easier to use than Wordpress. It has tons of features that you can use to build successful content sites or blogs...without the need for MySQL or other scalable database.

So what happened?

Looking through Google, there was tons of blog plugins-for Wordpress. While there's tons of useful plugins for Pivot, being so curious, I felt the need to try out Wordpress :)

It took a good full day to understand Wordpress and how to customize it. A week later, I still feel as if it's lacking compared to Pivot. In Pivot, I really liked the ability to easily create multiple blogs for the same domain. In Wordpress, I don't think there's a feature...unless you hack around or install another copy.

I really like how the plugins integrate into Wordpress though. I could just drop in a script, and there will be options embedded into the interface. Most of the plugins I used with Pivot required me to work with the scripts. That's alright with me, but using a GUI makes life easier.

So what's better, Pivot or Wordpress?

Some people would easily say that Wordpress is the king of blogs. I'm still not sure which one is the best. For the amount of plugins offered, I could say Wordpress is the best. As for usability, I think Pivot is the best.

I guess another reason I went with Wordpress is the amount of support base it has. There's so many people hacking with it, it connected with the hacker in me:)

I think,you modify or do more things with worpress but i think, and I may be wrong on this one, you have to upload it or install it on your own domain. I like blogger though for now, and since I finally have a half decent page ranking, i dont know if iwant to change it.

Starting An Internet Business-Part 3-Get A Cheap Web Hosting Package

If you've chosen your domain name, you'll also need a place to store your information. This server space is what a web host is. What you'll want to do is find a cheap web hosting package . When I say "cheap," I don't mean low quality. There are so many places to get web hosting, that searching for an affordable one could be tough. Most of the big named companies offer tons of web hosting packages, but unfortunately are pretty expensive. I'm pretty surprised that Yahoo is still offering their starter package close to $12/mo, with a $25 startup fee. I guess it's the name that sells. Over the last decade, I've tried out several hosting companies. For over the past 2 years, I've chosen a service where I have 10 websites set up on. If you want to set up one website, you pay $1/mo. If you want to have 10 websites, it's $2.95/mo. They have a startup fee, but it's pretty small compared to the monthly savings. Before selecting the package...
