Learning a Healthy Lifestyle

Time to Ditch This Blog

Blog news
Mon, Jun 2 2008
I've just about had enough of this blog. Over the past 4 months I've been trying to get something together here and it's been fun, yet lately things are really starting to annoy me. This will be my last post at pro health blog.

So what's the deal? Why did I quit this blog?

First of all, I'm not quiting the blogging game. I decided to stop updating this blog because of the Content Management System (CMS). Most bloggers use a blogging platform such as WordPress or Typepad. I on the other hand blog on a Joomla based system. Joomla isn't made for blogging but for regular website management. It has decent features, but it lacks several very important blogging tools and that pisses me off big time!

Things I can't do with Joomla:
  • No tags, no technorati
  • Difficult permanent url structure
  • No pinging of other blogs
  • No trackback
  • You have to pay for comment software & it has limited possibilities (eg. no commentluv, no email notifications,...)
  • No decent archive
  • No "related posts" feature at the end of every post,...
  • Making new categories takes FOREVER
  • No possbility of branding my feed which disallows me to publish full feeds ...
  • Limited blog style templates (none really, I had to customize an existing template to make it look like a blog ...)
  • etc ...
So what's next? Well I'm not giving up blogging,... and I still love learning more everyday about the healthy lifestyle topic. I don't have the patience or knowledge to transfer this blog from Joomla to WordPress so there's only one option left, which is to start all over again.

I've registered a New domain, installed a wordpress script and as I'm checking things out I'm absolutely amazed. Wordpress is sexy and I'm glad I made the switch now and didn't wait another 4 months.

The launch of my new blog will take place in about two weeks. I hope to see you then!
