After blogging for 7 years using my own blogging software, I’ve decided to move to WordPress platform. Why didn’t I set up my own WordPress server? Not enough time to install as well as track upgrades and patches. Old posts and comments will take some time to appear, probably not until the year-end holiday season. Identicons will also return…eventually.
Anyway, welcome to my new blog!

Just wondered why you’re moving? The previous blog seemed to work well. I guess I have to update my feeds now

First!
Congrats, 형, on the move. What’s the digital equivalent of a 집들이? Can I send you digital rolls of toilet paper?

digital 성냥 will do.

Good luck with the new blog Don, I’ve re-subscribed.
I made the exact same move for the exact same reasons. I came to realise that Automattic have done such a damn fine job with WordPress.com that I just couldn’t justify the time spent on my own WordPress install TRYING to make it half as good.
At the end of the day, I realised I’d rather spend the time writing in my blog than setting it up/maintaining/upgrading it.

Hi Sascha. Old articles will be migrated eventually but not for weeks at least. Sorry.

Hey Don. Long time. I really liked your Docuverse.com domain. Instead of redirecting from docuverse.com to donpark.wordpress.com, you may want to consider using your own domain with WordPress.com’s Domain Mapping capability. This gives you the best of both worlds, your own domain and outsourcing to WordPress.com.

Hi John. Yeah, I should use blog.docuverse.com and it wouldn’t take no more than a minute to set it up but, well, I am lazy.
Anyway, your reminder made me switch over just now. Thx.
