Bye Bye WordPress!

Had enough of this bourgeois service, where I need to pay for a custom domain, CSS upgrade (and that gives me the liberty to only “style” the look), and can’t use Java scripts.  WordPress hasn’t come out with a decent theme/addition in months!

So, I’m going to stop blogging here. I’m in the process of moving everything to Blogger (Yes, everything’s FREE!).

Bye Bye WordPress.com!

    Word!, word, COMPLETLY know how you feel. i tell you something tho!, wordpress is a nicer software. It may not hit you right away when your using blogger for a while, :) it will catch up to you.

    If your a serious blogger, consider getting your own installation of wordpress and have FULL control over it.

    Ping me if you need help ;)

    I’m not either cheap or expensive!.

    This has to be an April Fools Joke. Not blogger. You know the problems with Blogger. :)

    Going self-hosted with wordpress I would believe. Going to Blogger I don’t believe. Good April Fools prank, ruhi! :-D)))

    Come on, after you have so pro actively campaigned against blogger, it is hard for us to believe you are going to blogger. April Fool banane ki koshish kya?

    yeah April fool’s day. damn i forgot about that day.What happened to those days when we used to try and fool others for the sake of it.

    The worst part would be when you are actually serious and moving to blogger.

    Good joke :P but sorry

  11. 11 Suda April 2, 2008 at 12:48 am

    See you in next post Ruhi. You should have picked at least LiveJournal or something else….. not blogger…. ;-)

  12. 12 Anirudh April 2, 2008 at 1:10 am

    good try Ruhi…. but pretty hard to believe (atleast for me) that someone is leaving wordpress for blogger

  13. 13 Suda April 2, 2008 at 1:20 am

    Well I forgot to mention this……..

    Somebody said….. I swear its last time….. :-p

    Ruhi.. give yourself a pat on the back.. ur readers are smart.. none got fooled! :-D
    Blogger? that was the last thing you should have said!

  15. 15 Ruhi April 2, 2008 at 11:22 am

    First off, thank you mozey and Ankur…my dear beauty-fools. :D

    Others

    You people are too smart. Perhaps I shouldn’t have chosen Blogger. Vox or Typepad should have been more believable. I’ll get you guys the next time, I promise ;) And I vow never to tell you so much about my personal choice. :| But yes, I give myself a pat on my back- very intelligent readers.

  16. 16 ish April 2, 2008 at 12:18 pm

    LOL, if it weren’t for the comments, I might just have been fooled. :S

    Good! Join the gang of the beauty-fools :D Didn’t expect you to get fooled though. Heh - Ruhi

  17. 17 nitin April 2, 2008 at 8:55 pm

    Hey Ruhi.. nice try.. why don’t u try to fool the very intelligent reader’s here on any other day of the year ;-)
    Also..u were silly in selecting blogger.. we have read u r post gal.

  18. 18 Amyth April 3, 2008 at 11:01 am

    Sweet Jesus! …. I’m reading this post on the 3rd… but am almost fooled by it.. HANGOVER!!

    Thank God I read through the comments~ ;)

  19. 19 Nita April 3, 2008 at 11:20 am

    Another suggestion. You shouldn’t have allowed comments on this post! :) Then we would really have been stumped.

  20. 20 Suda April 4, 2008 at 12:02 am

    Well Nita, even if she could have blocked the comments, we had an option of her contact page. So I think she chose the comments over the overflowing inbox.

  21. 21 Ruhi April 4, 2008 at 1:30 am

    Nitin- Heh. Big mistake! No more posts on Blogger now. I need to pick up some other blogging platform to criticize ;)

    Amyth- Haha…great! Welcome to the beauty-fool club. 8)

    Nita- Probably it would have had a greater impact, you’re right. In fact, I did think about it, but then, I left the comments section open. It’s not fair game ;)

    Suda- Oh God :o You think and know too much. Seriously.

  22. 22 Xylene April 4, 2008 at 5:17 am

    Ruhi,

    I managed to escape this one. :)

  23. 23 Ruhi April 5, 2008 at 2:22 pm

    Xylene- Finally you learned a lesson! :D

  24. 24 sulz April 7, 2008 at 11:46 pm

    :lol: just want to say you did a great job with the css. i like the admin bar. i have the wordpress logo image to go with it; if you want it, let me know.

  25. 25 Ruhi April 8, 2008 at 12:12 pm

    Sulz- Actually, it’s a stylesheet for the k2 lite theme. My contribution to the CSS is minimal. And I would love to have the wordpress logo image. :) Thanks a lot for your offer. You do have my email address, right?
