Happy Blog-Warming

Hey, waaaait a minute didn’t we start a blog just like this about six weeks ago at http://bgrantpaul.wordpress.com/ ???

Well, yes indeed we did. After finding a cozy new home for our web data including this domain nsexplore.ca and enoying the hosted wordpress, I decided to download wordpress 2.7 and a few themes to test out in this domain. I think its safe to say I’m enjoying having my own copy of WordPress so we’ll call this place, blog.nsexplore.ca, our blog home for now.

Yes, a personal server running your own wordpress is nice, been meaning to do it many times. So will this blog replace the BGP, and/or Yahoo: NSEpxlore

I’ll probably drop the BGP space hosted on wordpress. I hadn’t fiddled with WordPress in a few years and it was a good place to test it out. I’d also needed some place to host some projects of my own. While I’m a university web manager I can do virtually nothing there. Funny isn’t it, you would think a university would be a great place to incubate innovative projects but as it turns out I can not personally do anything there. So I’ve grabbed some space at canadianwebhosting in Vancouver. You can throw wordpress up in your own space for as little as 5 bucks a month, or multiple domains for 10 bucks a month, looks decent. http://www.canadianwebhosting.com/standard_hosting.asp
