Back to the blogging world...

I'm back online after a hiatus of almost 12 months.

Having maintained a self hosted blog on a shared hosting service and having gone through the pains of keeping the Wordpress version current, I'm gonna give the Blogger service a try.

Since I use Gmail as my primary email service, Blogger and its tight integration with Google services ought to make this a pleasant experience.

Also, Blogger provides free mapping of custom domains to the hosted blog. That means I just need to pay for my domain name -- no more hosting charges! Not sure if theres' a way by which I can get my domain mail account to work for free as well. Let's see.

May I find the drive to persevere with this effort for the long term. Wish me luck!
