Subscribe via RSSMigrating to WordPress MU
December 9, 2007
I waited too long and the consequence is growing big. Have you read the article Should I Migrate to WordPress MU? Well, regardless of what others are saying, I'm going to migrate because:
- I found out that the migration process is not that easy. The links will break even though I was using ugly permalink.
- The longer I wait, the more posts I will have, hence the more trouble when migrating.
- I'm holding back on writing personal thoughts, which lead to lack of communication with family and friends.
- I'm holding back on writing professional posts, because I'm still not satisfied with the current structure. This lead to stopping my blog from growing.
- I'm spending more time on worrying, and holding back on building links, which limit my blog from being known.
After I migrate, either I use 1 blog for all purpose, or using subdomains for separate blogs, it will be beneficial because even if I don't like it. I don't need to migrate again.
A Personal Blog
Why I'm considering a making a personal blog, even though it is not a money making tool? It's because I need friends. Professional blog is getting nowhere in term of friendships. Friendship grows from personal feelings, not just mere advertisement purpose. You can read for yourself here:
Making Real Friends Through Blogging?
Why WordPress MU?
It's capable of having a all-in-one database that have:
- A single user store
- Separate blog stores
So I can just log in by one account and can then create and manage as manage blogs as I like, hosted right on my subdomains.
However, not everyone can use WordPress MU, because it require much more technical knowledge compare to other hosting packages. The settings are tricky too, you may get critically hurt if you don't configure it properly.
What's next?
Please be patient and wait for the new arrival of brand new blogs hosted on binh.name. I will be creating a FREE blog hosting service too. How many people out there doesn't know anything about PHP and MySQL? I will do the dirty work for you to monetize via blogging.
The process will start from tomorrow. So for contact please email me shout [at] binh [dot] name.
Thank you all for your readership and friendships. If anything goes wrong I may loose all my database and then have to rewrite everything from beginning. I hope I will have support from you guys to continue my blogging journey.
