Now that I've crawled back out into the world, I plan to read every post. For multiple blogs, I'm a Squarespace fan. Not that I've migrated anything yet, but I use it all the time when I set up blogs and sites for others. The new blog is gorgeous.

The default setting is that commenters have to give a name and e-mail. (This is the setting I now have on the new blog.) That's easy for spammers to take advantage of, though, and excessive spammage on this blog forced me to change commenting to registered users only. Hopefully I won't have to resort to that on the other blog. FYI, if you think you might want to have more than one blog, I suggest installing <a href="http://mu.wordpress.org/" rel="nofollow">Wordpress MU</a> (multi-user) right off the bat. Although you can supposedly migrate a blog from the single-user installation to MU, I was *not* able to do that. (It seemed to be due to back-end permissions restrictions on my hosting service.) Incidentally, I changed the permalink format. Unexplainably the auto-generated permalink led to a 404 error. Yes, I host my own. The default setting is that commenters have to give a name and e-mail.

I am learning how to do that currently but haven't made much progress. Is there a way when you host your own blog to allow open comments w/out people having to sign in? Your new blog looks lovely, I have added it to the typosphere blogroll on my site (pen-o-spehere?) I assume you host your own wordpress blogs?
