It’s been about two weeks since I switched from Blogger to Wordpress here on Geoff Holden.com, and I figured I’d let you in on how it’s going.

I think Wordpress is a great product, it was easy to set up, writing a custom theme for it was straightforward, and it had the ability to import all my old Blogger posts. It even has the ability to run multiple blogs out of one database (which is good if your host limits you to one, but you have multiple domains… it don’t apply to me, but it’s nice to have the option). What has me really impressed though, is the inclusion of Bookmarklets. I keep two on my Firefox personal toolbar, one that starts a new post with a link to the page I’m currently reading, and another that adds a new link to the page I’m currently on.

The plugin architecture is also really nice. I only have a couple installed so far, but I’m still going through them, deciding what I want.

BTW, I so need one of these.
