eleven o clock musings...
I'm actually considering getting my own domain and moving my blog there. I'm really still just thinking about it only and there are pros and cons of actually doing so.
Vox has been really good to me. in fact, it really is one of the best blogging service provider i've ever seen because everything is pretty much ready for you when you sign up. The interface is really very simple and direct. You get to upload videos and photos so simply, it requires no effort at all. They also have layouts ready for you so you don't have to spend time coding your own page. Perfect for people who are just too lazy to code it themselves like me hehe.
And you know what's the best part? The people that you meet here are precious. i've met so many people from all over the world and because it's an exclusive community, you bond with them much better than you would regularly. This one is for you Vox neighbours! <3
On the other hand, the downside of being in Vox is that a lot of my friends have told me that they hate it that they can't comment (oh you know who you are =p) without having to create an account, which more often than not, they won't go through the trouble of doing so. I can totally understand where they're coming from because if i were in their position as well, i wouldn't go through the trouble either lol.
But see, here's the weird part. I used to have my own domain (albeit very long ago) with my own blog on it and it was definitely different than blogging here. i'm thinking that psychologically, not having random people publicly post comments on my blog here makes me more comfortable in writing what i feel sometimes. Perhaps it's cause i feel like i'm not being judged or being evaluated (whoa deep stuff lol). But yeah, you get what i mean right?
I guess what i'm afraid of is that i'll lose my style of writing or my identity when people post up comments and i realize that there are more people who read my blog than i thought. it could happen.
Have i also mentioned that it is a big pain in the ass to think up of a domain name? lol.
In the mean time while i keep thinking, i guess you will all have to settle for reading from here and not being able to comment first ;)
On another more random note, Iron Man was absolutely awesome! It was definitely worth the trip back home to watch it with him. They really couldn't have picked a better person than Robert Downey Jr. to play the role of Iron Man. Go watch it guys!
Comments
I like the small community of Vox as well. :)
oh yeah, i've seen lots of those comments appearing on other bloggers' blogs as well. and i think it's absolutely irritating.
i think you can get rid of those comments if you use wordpress and have to get them to write down their email addresses when they comment.
Hope you're doing alright, with the test and everything. I've been busy. Balancing work/fun/studies. The next few weeks is gonna be intense with exams approaching. Catch you online later. Take care!
