Gorblog

Yup, lookie what I did. Went and finally got myself a domain. So yes, yes you all now have a new blog for us both to ignore! With suggestions and lots of help from Ryan he pointed me in the way of using Google to host certain parts such as email for free and was kind enough to host the rest of the site on his own server and set up the Wordpress so make the page much more functional and easier for me to add to. So who knows, maybe if it’s easier and performs better I will update it a little more. It’s certainly a much easier address to remember.
Basically my whole motivation for this was I was getting a bit tired of paying $99 a year for the .Mac service. I love Apple and damn near everything they do, but this was one service that seemed to be seriously lacking. So, for only about $9 a year I now get my completely own webpage and personalized email that I can keep forever. Instead of $99 a year for a website with a clumsy address and an email account that doesn’t look all that professional. One of the main things I will miss about not using the .mac service anymore will be the automatic syncing of my addressbook, bookmarks and keychain to the idisk. So i’m still looking for a replacement for that, but saving $99 a year I think I’ll live.
I also reserved seanmerle.com tho there’s nothing there yet, but I plan to use that for a more professional side, put my resume and maybe a gallery of artwork (which I also need to get started on again). So, if you’re reading this go ahead and make a username, make some comments, lets actually use this page!
