Something new?

Haha, okay so at the insistance of 2 people (I had no idea anyone read this) to update more frequently, I've decided the best solution is to make a new place. Since Australia is sadly no longer the focus of my daily life, I'm considering ways to make my daily (American) life into a blog. A lot of my friends are on Wordpress now, which excludes comments that aren't from other Wordpress users. So I went and created myself a Wordpress account just to try things out.

My initial hesitations:

- the Wordpress interface (is that the word I'm looking for?) is not immediately clear to me, but Blogger was the same way, so maybe I will get used to it
- only other Wordpress account owners would be able to comment on my posts, while Blogger allows everyone (including anonymous commentors)
- I can only subscribe to other Wordpress blogs. Blogger lets me subscribe to prettymuch anything, and "secretly" if I want.

The last two are HUGE drawbacks.

Initial positives:

- I guess I can comment on my friends' Wordpress blogs, yay...
- visitor statistics (I think this is an overall good thing. I am curious, of course, but I also know that I change the way I write when I pay too much attention to the readers.)
- privacy control of individual posts
- new things are always more exciting.

Welp. I'll keep you kids updated I guess.
