No More Hosting

I think I'm done with hosting companies for now. Even though they often try to make it easy by providing an application to install other web applications and such to run your website, you're still responsible for keeping them working. Sometime last year my site was supposed to get moved to another server, and then not, and then... well, I don't know. Since then I had to get the billing straightened out after a brief lapse in the transfer that led to my account being disabled for a day or two until I noticed. Now my photo gallery is broke, the statics page lost it's configuration, and I just don't care to deal with it anymore. Luckily, I've been eying this Google blogger thing for awhile. I'm already an obvious Google fan, but I don't have time to write my own php scripts anymore and I'm willing to give up that flexibility, which I haven't used in forever, for some ease of use and consistency. Some of the default templates actually look pretty good too, at least until I ever get around to customizing something of my own. So here I am, the new JonathanPhelps.com, pending DNS updates of course.
