After an initial tryout using Blogger, I’ve decided to switch to Wordpress for my blog software. Previously, with a blog on my old website, I also used Wordpress for blogging software but this time I wanted to give Blogger a try first. It turns out that Wordpress requires a bit more initial setup on the website’s server (in terms of setting up a SQL database), but I find Wordpress to be easier to customize and adapt for my particular use. Also, Wordpress seems to have a larger selection of ready-to-use themes and, like Blogger, has great documentation and a large, active, and helpful user community.
In conclusion, for the beginning blog, Blogger is a great way to start but for the more experienced user who requires more flexibility and adaptability, Wordpress is the way to go.
After much work, I’ve now launched a new website under the domain “wt5l.com”. This site will replace all contents from “astroham.com”. I’ve modified the index page of “astroham.com” to redirect any visitors from “astroham.com” to “wt5l.com”.
The architecture of “wt5l.com” is now based on the use of sub-domains. For example, all astrophotography information is now under the sub-domain “astro.wt5l.com” and all amateur radio information is now under the sub-domain “radio.wt5l.com”. If and when new interests arise that I wish to display on this website, I will create new sub-domains as needed. Any and all comments or questions concerning “wt5l.com” or any of its sub-domains may be directed to the following email address: website@wt5l.com.
