I Finally Made the Plunge
If you haven’t received my email, please check out the WBA site. After months of software testing, I came to the conclusion that WordPress was my best bet. I’ve never had prospective members complain about not being able to register at The Writers Buzz. That was a biggie for me.
The only thing I really liked about Xoops was the directory and the RSS feed. I had no problems with the directory, but the RSS feed was too selective about the feeds it would display. I finally found the perfect solution, an RSS Feed Directory. This combines two features into one. After this fiasco, I’m a firm believer in Simple is Better.
Keep your fingers crossed because if this plan works, then I can cross one more thing off my list.

Oooh, looking great. I’m going to register again as soon as possible then.

Is Wordpress a blog host? I am getting tired of Blogger. Maybe I will check it out.

Wordpress rocks!
I will reregister. I often pop by but don’t usually leave a post.

Fred: If you don’t have your own domain, you can go to WordPress.com and sign up for a new blog. The only downside to getting a hosted account through them is that you can’t customize anything. You’re better off getting a domain with the Fantastico script, which will allow you to install WordPress in a few clicks.
Lee and Yzabel: I’m getting some great feedback so far. WordPress is the best and easiest alternative to what’s out there. I’m still waiting on that directory software, but you can sign up and post some things if you’d like.

It looks really good. I’m a big fan of wordpress, I’ve signed up.

Ok, I signed up, but it won’t let me post.

I’ll go upgrade you to Author status, Ben, and see if that works.
