I'm the last one to be worried about the layoffs at LJ (as sad as they are), but after that downtime just now I'm just a tad pissed off. Granted, even the best of web sites are down from time to time. And maybe it's because everything I do is related to LJ (if I'm not checking my flist or replying to comments, I'm downloading something or reading something that's hosted here), but every time it goes down I get a bit agitated and nervous as to when it'll be back up again.
I don't even know where else to go. I tried going over to InsaneJournal a minute ago and the servers were overloaded there too. I guess everyone's still in an uproar over yesterday, but it was annoying. All the copy-journal sites like Deadjournal, InsaneJournal, Blurty, Crazylife, Inksome, Vox etc. aren't even as high-end as LJ. I'm used to the little hover tags to add people, and my inbox and the tags and moods system. Even little things like last.fm intergration... I want that. I want at least a better style to customize than generator (I like the sidebar, okay!).
I would just trash it all and move back to software like TypePad or WordPress or even Tumblr-- but what about the emo posts that I like to lock up? And I can't just publish fiction on a Tumblr blog. It just doesn't feel right. I also like the nesting comments that the journaling sites have. I'm not going to lie-- I'd even miss the icons on sites like those. It's just.... WHY. WHY SUP/SixApart/LJ. WHY.
Consistency. I want it.
I feel like the best thing to do is make a whole bunch of sites integrated. I'll finally reboot my web site and throw my fiction on there, I'll have some sort of journaling site for locked posts (which will probably become few and far between when LJ dies *eventually* and we all get scattered) and integrate my blog software on another page on the site.
As of right now I have an InsaneJournal and Vox (which I set up while waiting for IJ and LJ to come back). GreatestJournal, too, but apparently it's in a coma. My question is: which blogging site/service/software should I use? Tumblr, Blogger, TypePad, or WordPress? My big concerns are the nesting comments and the types of style choices available.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
etherpunk, I know you use WordPress but does anyone else use another one and what do you think about it? Because I think it's time I start seriously thinking about putting alternates into place.
I feel like I asked this once before. My Dory!memory. Let me show you it.
