Over the next two months or so I plan to move this blog over to a dedicated server, not because wordpress.com is bad, but because wordpress.org just offers a lot in terms of themes and widgets and things to play with (and because I want the server anyway for various programming projects, and it may pull duty hosting On Target and Wallpaper and herself’s book site as well).
