In December of last year we decided to move our blog from a hosted WordPress to WordPress.com (abbreviated as WP.com). I wrote about the advantages and disadvantages in the post Moving to WordPress.com – What to Consider. For several months it remained the right place for our blog and I still think it was the correct decision at the time. But many of the advantages of hosting with WordPress.com have actually been overridden by updates to the WordPress software. Here are the key reasons we went back to a hosted WordPress…

A Whole New Site
Welcome to our newly redesigned site. We re-organized things to make it easier for you to find information on specific topics. Hopefully you’ll like the new layout and design. We took quite a bit of time setting it up, trying to make your point of view the most important. We welcome any comments you may have.
A bit about the changes…
The menu links at the very top of the page go to more information about us and our services. The menu links below the logo/header image go to the major categories (or topics) of posts. We tried to organize these categories in a way that makes sense, but we’d welcome any feedback too. The box to the right contains all the ways to connect with us, as well as subscribing to get our content via rss, email or Twitter, along with our newsletter subscription. In the two right columns, we’ve arranged supplemental information, such as our Twitter feed, links that end up in our Internet Marketing, Strategy & Technology links, and comments by you (the most important part!).
We’ve also added our Amazon recommendations and will be experimenting with some advertising as well. We’ll try to keep that to a minimum, but it would be nice to have this blog at least support itself. Anything we promote or review on this site is something we’ve taken an in-depth look at and if we recommend it, we truly believe it’s worth it – something we would recommend directly to a friend or colleague (we’re all friends here!).
Enjoy the new site and let us know what you think!
