What happened? Everything changed!
Yes. It did.
Behold the mighty WordPress! Blogger no more, I'm now rolling my own Blog using WordPress on a funky new Linux hosting platform over at Dreamhost 
My 1&1 subscription was coming up for renewal, and rather than spend £140 over the course of the year to be on ASP.Net servers that I really wasn't using for anything more than static content, I decided to have a look around and see what I could find. What really swung it for Dreamhost, aside from being listed as a hosting provider on WordPress, was the fact that in addition to the decent package offering (including unlimited domain management, 20GB disk storage etc.), I found a discount code online to apply a $97 discount to the cost of hosting for a year, so it only actually cost me $22! (£12). Result!!
Not found anything I can't do with the Control Panel yet, transition across was smooth. WordPress 2.0, recently released, offers a very simple straight forward way of migrating your blogger blog. Highly worthwhile.
So, time to play with Linux, PHP5 and MySQL (unlimited mySQL databases - hoorah!). Always good to have some open source strings to my bow. Ruby On Rails is powering lots of the Web 2.0 Hype, so is prob worth playing with too.
