TechTAK’s New Blog Section!!!

Once again we move the blog.

Yes, I know. We’ve been through this before. Just when everyone was starting to get used to the TechTAK blog using the b2evolution system, we’ve gone and changed it over to WordPress. Believe me folks, if WordPress wasn’t a huge amount of difference, we wouldn’t be making the change.

One of the biggest differences is that I can use any of several PC apps to write my blogs out without having to log into a website. The biggest of these are Zoundry and Microsoft Live Writer. They allow full control of blog entries without having to go through the hassle of logging into the blog web page. If you’re a blogger, I suggest giving them a try. Zoundry seems to have the highest number of supported blog systems. MS Live Writer (Still in beta) seems to have fewer little quirky problems. While they are SMALL quirks, they can still be annoying. I’m using Zoundry for this posting and the Zoundry review, which I’ll be writing next.

Another difference is one that I actually don’t like, and we’ll be changing it ASAP. That is that the blog isn’t hosted on the TechTAK website, it’s hosted on WordPress’ website. While we can GET WordPress for use on our own servers, it is quite a feat to get it installed and running the way we want it, which has been a problem with WP so far.

Another benefit to doing it this way for the time being is that it might help our listeners who want to use a blog but don’t know how to get started. WordPress is pretty much the standard that most other blogging systems are set. If you want to start your own blog, WordPress.com is a great way to get started.
