If you’ve popped by this blog at any point over the past 24 hours or so, you may have noticed some wonky typeface situations. If you’ve been following the blog since the Squarespace incident, you’ll know that my only real gripe with Wordpress is that I couldn’t change the typeface from Georgia. I tried any number of solutions, including Typekit, the Wordpress CSS edit addon, and, of course, Squarespace. The less said about that the better.

I must say, being back on Wordpress is just like putting on your favourite jumper. It may not be pretty, but it’s warm and comforting. The Squarespace adventure was a bit of a disaster. I have never known such unfiltered spam to be allowed through. At first I thought I was doing something wrong, missing some kind of obvious step but no. The commenting system over there just isn’t up to scratch.

At least that’s the way it seems. An experiment to move I Heart Franck off Wordpress led me to Posterous, which is really good, but not for blogging. It’s great for uploading a picture or some kind of media and sharing it, which is what it is ultimately designed for. As you know, dissatisfied with Wordpress I made the transition to Squarespace, and have found it mostly good, but there is a significant spam commenting problem.

I’ve been getting more and more dissatisfied with Wordpress, and although I still maintain it is an excellent place to set up your first blog and start getting published, it’s limitations were beginning to get to me. In point of fact, all I wanted to do was to change the font on my template. Typekit fonts are a bit ahead of their time, whilst the Custom CSS function was not really accessible on the template I was using.

Time for a change. This site is moving from Wordpress to Squarespace, and that means you’ll need to update your feed subscriptions and suchlike. Please visit: http://www.mrschristine.com for the new site. I’ll be waiting. (This will remain for a while, until I point Smarter Than at the new place.) A change is as good as a rest!
