After making the argument a while back with several of my friends to use Site5 to host their blog and other web services, I am moving my blog to wordpress.com. Nothing against Site5, it is just a change of life and priorities that is creating the move more than anything else. Hosting your own blog software requires geek time to review and update from time to time, and at the point in time, I need something that requires no maintenance. WordPress.com fits the bill. So as you will start to see, all my online services and life will be moving into the Web 2.0 cloud.
- Personal Blog: WordPress.com (http://justisengard.org) — still using my domain name though.
- Photos: MobileMe Gallery (http://gallery.me.com/justisengard) — Photo Albums and Movies
- PhotoBlog: Flickr (http://flickr.com/photos/justisengard) — Snapshots from iPhone with the cool new apps with geo-tagging
- Micro-Blogging: Pownce: (http://pownce.com/justisengard)
Also created a new blog for Anita and I to share stories, comments and opinions during our travels. For those wanting to now where we just came back from, what happened or where we are planning to go, or what unique food we had - this is the place we will capture all this.

I have to say I have been plessantly surprised how well WordPress.com works. The advanced fucntions on the GUI editor are nice, and I do not have to struggle with inserting pictures, etc. ScribeFire (blogging plugin for Firefox) works well with it too. You will see me changing themes for a bit until I find one that works for me. I may just have to break down and do some CSS editing…but I am not there just yet.
