moving house

[the_siobhan]

Every once in a while, I ponder the value of moving my blog completely off of LJ and onto my own domain.

Peoples who do that, can I have your feedback? Pros? Cons? Pains in the ass?

xthlcm, kalmn, the_fury, I'm looking at you guys.

i think i use the two for different things. currently, i couldn't tell you exactly what the difference is, but i know there is one.

moving your archives would be a royal pain in the ass. i don't even know how you'd go about it.

setting up a blogger account to upload to your own domain is pretty easy, so on the technical side, that's not a problem.

major drawbacks: commenting is weird. no one can keep track of it but the blog owner, as the fishie says. also, no private/friendslocked posts.

The comment thing is actually an issue - not that I'm addicted to lots of comments, but it's hard to tell how my posts are going over with no feedback.
