Thoughts About Moving

My paid account at Live Journal is expiring today and I'm toying with the idea of moving to Blogger.  Someone has registered magicalchildhood over there but I snagged magical-childhood in case I decided to relocate.

Many of you have commented that you don't like Live Journal.  Any opinions one way or another?  It's my understanding that if I don't pay for another membership I'll have ads, which I do not like.  I've always been adamant about keeping magicalchildhood.com ad-free and would like the same for the blog (especially if they're earning someone else money! G).  I also wouldn't get to play with so many themes, which was always fun for me.  ;)

I'm on the fence.  What do you all think?!

moving
I'm not a huge fan of Live Journal, but I DESPISE ads. So for me, not having ads would be the top priority.

wordpress
i HIGHLY recommend wordpress. i don't know anything about their hosted blogs(you may want to look into that too), but i installed wordpress on my own webspace and LOVE it. its super easy and there's a ton of great free templates available online. and no ads if you host it yourself.

if you already have a host for your site magicalchildhood.com, you may already have access to installing wordpress via your control panel there.

let me know if you have any questions.

i do also use blogger, and like that too. :)

Wordpress
I've used and liked blogger, but I recently moved over to Wordpress and am liking that, too. It's still new to me, so I'm learning about all the great add-ons and plug-ins that can be used. Good stuff :) I run it on my own site, so there are no ads. Domain names aren't terribly expensive, and hosting can be downright cheap (I can point you in a good direction :)

what about wordpress
I really like wordpress.com blogs they are free and very nice. I think they are the nicest looking blogs, plus they offer a widget called Akismet that will greatly reduce spam.
This only reason why some people don't like WP is because you cannot put ads on them, but if you want ad-free it be good for you.
