So, why did I decide to move my journal to Vox? Three reasons:

1) Maintenence

Even though MovableType is a decent software package, it still requires initial setup and maintenence. I felt that I didn't use my old journal enough to justify keeping the system on my server. With Vox, I can sit back, post new entries, and live in complete oblivion to administrative tasks.

2) Identity

My old journal was only a fraction of my web identity; yet, it was the main attraction of my personal site. Links to frequently visited communities such as MySpace or LinkedIn were dwarfed by aging article bodies. Now, my Vox journal is simply another network and treated the same as the others.

3) Theme

My old journal was written during transitional period of my life - it revolved around the deep pondering which follows any major transition. I found that I was hesitant to make posts which scored less than 53.6 Deep Ponderment Points.

So, you ask, what will happen to ricciadams.com? I will discuss that in my next post...
