Your Drive Time Update
Author: Stacy26 Oct
I received an email this morning that my old domain has been released back into the wild…and now I’m at a bit of a crossroads. Do I snatch it again, do I go for a new domain…or do I just stay put and enjoy the fruits of Wordpress.com and it’s freeness?
There are a lot of things about Wordpress.com that I really enjoy - of course, it’s free - and it’s easy and I don’t have to worry about security or uploading anything or managing folders, etc. - but with that comes a lack of flexibility. I can’t post anything to my blog that has any embedded code or Flash, and while that’s not necessarily a deal-killer, there are a few things I’d like to post - a Flickr badge of more than my most recent three photos, the “Now Playing” list from iLike…and my team ranking from Fafarazzi.
Plus, I have severe ADD when it comes to blog presentation - and I’d be able to download more themes for a hosted WP blog than are currently available at WP.com.
Please…someone tell me what to do.
On a totally unrelated note, we had to bid adieu to Jerry Springer last night and I’m predicting Mario Lopez will take the great state of California and win Dancing With The Stars. I’m loving Emmitt Smith more every week (despite my loathing of all things Cowboys), but I think Mario has been the most consistent. And, I’ll admit it now…in front of you all…I have a girl crush on Edyta. No woman can be that hot - which is why I think I’m not intimidated by her - she must be some sort of robot. Heh. That sorta rhymed.
I also read…somewhere…that Lost was going to kill off another primary character, and we would be “shocked and surprised” at who it is. I’m hoping it’s BenHen but if it is…then Dr. Jack is going to be 0-for-way too many when it comes to saving lives on that island. Boone died, Shannon died, Ana Lucia died, Colleen died, the pilot died…just don’t let Sawyer die. I’m now loving his character way too much for him to die…which is precisely why he’ll probably go.
And…why is there a fertility doctor on the island? Are they trying to create some sort of master race or something?

I say you buy it… it’s cheap. Then you have at least a year to figure out if you wanna use it or not.
take WP out into the wild…lovely plugins to do all things youtubiness, &c. (I run three WP blogs, mine, my wifes, and my friends… easy as pie to install, set the right permissions on theme files, and you can do all the theme editing through WP. Plugins just work… )
Re: Lost - I hope they don’t consider Colleen a ‘main character’, and Benry shouldn’t get all high and mighty, his precious Ethan killed someone, as did his other lackey with the tailies… Last I counted the body count was even (that was counting Michael’s two kills as ‘others’ since Benry didn’t stick around long enough to berate Michael for offing the to drunk drivers…) No Sun rakes in a body, but who will have to die to even the score…?
two more epis til the hiatus… and NOTHING happens in this one?
Yeah, I think I will…I had WP for nearly two years before I took everything offline earlier this spring. I suspect I was waiting around to see if blogging would “stick” again before committing to anything long-term. But, now that I’m back in the habit again…why not?
Thanks!
I say snatch it up but I’m kind of possessive that way…:)
I have a free WP account but I haven’t used it for the same reasons you state. It doesn’t look like I can add any of my toys and I hate the fact that I can’t tweak the templates. I don’t know much html, but I can jack with a blogger template a little. Maybe if I suck it up and get a host for my domain that is sitting idle, I would get WP for that. Everyone raves about how wonderful it is. But right now, I am being cheap and enjoying the freebie goodness that is blogger.
I was thinking the same thing about the master race issue. And I liked how her scrubs conveniently had a Dharma logo on them. I would also guess that it would be BenHen because it would be more interesting that way. And why do they keep releasing when characters are going to die?
