After a week of tinkering, the Wired Jester is now up and running on WordPress. TWJ spent just over a year on TypePad, and while I certainly enjoyed using their blogging software, I’ve been looking to move to WordPress for a while. It’s what we use at work for our blogs and podcasts, and I’ve really come to love its simple and stylish approach – particularly the Gmail style auto-saving of draft posts. I’m also a big fan of the WordPress look; stylish and simple. And there’s the fact that WordPress is practically free – an important consideration now that I’ve got a house and a stupidly big mortgage to pay. The RSS feed is still powered by Feedburner, so subscribers – hey Lawrence! – shouldn’t notice any changes. Feel free to pop by the site and let me know what you think of the changes, though. Still undecided about the header graphic.
