The End of an Era

There comes a time in every Blogger user's life when he or she decides to switch to Wordpress.

I already talked about doing this once, but I was kind of promising more than I could handle at the time. A lot has changed since then. I've learned a lot, and my priorities have changed. At this point, I've started to see this blog as a big mess. There are tons of entries that are kind of junky and meaningless, or that started things that never led anywhere. The formatting is extremely frustrating for me, too--still can't get that Twitter widget to look right.

Overall, though, it just doesn't offer the things that a Wordpress blog does. I've been using Wordpress quite often lately, both for my group blog, Obscure Authors Alliance (which is itself just getting up on its feet), and for my contributions to Operation Rainfall, a news site for video games. Each experience has taught me a lot about the site, and why it's beneficial to go there. I feel more connected to other people that way, and it's easy to find and mess with all the aspects I want. It's even fun to mess with the layout, in my opinion, and you might see it shift quite a bit.

After this point, I'm going to have two more entries that I'll post to both blogs. That will give a little bit of transition time, but I'd like people to follow the new blog, called Ephix Books, from now on.

So go on. You can find Ephix Books by clicking here.
