Frustrations

Due to continuing frustrations with Radio Userland, as well as the upcoming renewal cost (due in February, which'll mark my first complete year blogging), I'm considering moving this blog to a new platform, and consequently a new address.

The address thing will also address some confusion - I run a web hosting service behind The Raven Banner, and some folks Googling have wondered whether the Raven Banner is a blog or a hosting company.

As to platform, I'm looking seriously at Blosxom. I like the simple, file system like structure (I used a similar scheme in many of my telephony products). I like the very minimalist approach to "flavoring" a site. Plus, it's true Open Source software - unlike Moveable Type, which also requires a database setup and is somewhat more complicated to configure.

I'll have to considerably revamp my "publishing system" - including finding a new RSS aggregator (one that hopefully works better than Radio has been of late) and a new system for pinging weblogs.com and other utility functions.

Anybody out there have any comments?
