TWIP Linking Contest

This Week In Photography (TWIP), more specifically Scott Bourne and his trusty algorithm, is picking another winner tonight to win a bunch of cool prizes. Scott will choose a winner randomly from his logs of sites that link to twipphoto.com. Wish me luck. Or better yet, hit the TWIP link on the side-bar or in this post.

A New Start

Every so often, I like to change things up. Sometimes for fun, sometimes out of annoyance. This time it was a little of both.

My previous blog at yokimbo.com was created using Wordpress. While WP is very powerful and flexible, it's a little too high maintenance for my taste. Jenny and I have been using Blogger for blogging about Alli and family life, and I've really grown to enjoy Blogger again. So, I decided to switch back.

The reason I switched from Blogger to Wordpress in the first place had something to do with the hack job that was post-via-email. I'm hoping this has improved, but either way it's easier than using WP. While WP handled post via email like a champ, having to manually update the WP software, the database, and potentially plugins, just began to wear on me.

Having a 5-month old baby limits your free time considerably. That's not a complaint, simply the truth. I love interacting with my daughter, and that takes a little sacrifice. One of the first things to go is Wordpress.

The blog is dead; God save the blog.
