alternarrative

Welcome (back) to Rawi’s blog! As you can see, I have just moved to WordPress. After more than six years with Blogger, I suddenly decided last week it was time to call it quits. Well, the decision was not all that sudden, as I did briefly consider it before, especially last year when I had switched URLs. But now I realized why I needed to do this. I won’t waste time listing the pros and cons of the two platforms, when there are many such discussions already out there in the blogosphere (in fact, some of them were very useful in helping me make the move). The tipping point for me was the commenting system: Blogger’s really got on my nerves, and the system here at WordPress is unquestionably superior. All in all, I’m happy with the move (and I’m sure everyone will appreciate the simpler URL!). Like any change of address in real life, there’s anxiety as well as excitement. But when you’re finally settled in, you can only look forward to the future.
