Changing Hosts

Due to the seemingly constant barrage of worm attacks on WordPress blogs recently, I’ve decided to move my blogging to WordPress.com’s hosting.  I don’t have time to keep up with the patching, maintenance and upgrades of a self-hosted WordPress blog, and I definitely don’t have time to clean up after a worm attack.

Switching to WordPress.com doesn’t make me immune to attack, but these guys get paid to keep the upgrades coming so there’s certainly less of a chance that it will happen.  It will also be a significant cost savings for me, since I will no longer have to pay Bluehost for gigabytes of space that I never use.

I’ve already switched Facebook to import from the new site; hopefully this won’t mean that followers on there end up with double-posts, but I’ll keep an eye on it.
