You may have already guessed that.
I am now posting scrapbookish daily images, text, sound etc to http://daily.fishoutoforder.net (powered by Posterous). I have also merged all the old posts from this blog into Fish out of Order Daily. I won't actually delete this blog, however.
I find Tumblr/Posterous more effective for this kind of blog - snippets of information and impressions. Blogger (and similar sites, like Wordpress) offer a different kind of blogging experience that lends itself to lengthier opinion/news pieces. Possibly all that is locked up in my head, and the appearance of new hosting systems allows me to rethink how I use them.
Blogger is still the cheapest way to have your own domain, Google Apps, and basic maintenance-free CMS. So it's what I use for my professional blog. Although I'm tempted to drop it now and rely on the wonderful flavors.me I'm just not confident Flavors will be around for my entire lifetime, awesome though it is.
I enjoy using Tumblr for small art projects - while some of the UXD leaves a little to be desired, it is certainly fast and slick. Posterous I use for hobby-blogging and scrapbooking on a larger scale - my only real complaint with Posterous is that it runs a little slowly - don't know if that's a bandwidth issue or a code optimisation issue.
The idea of having a shared mobile blog with my partner was a lot of fun, but he kinda stopped posting after he became a full-time student with a part-time job, funnily enough.
Anyway, thanks to all who subscribed, and I hope to see you at Fish out of Order Daily :-)
