I’m umming and ahhing at the moment.

Not, as you’d probably expect, about a particularly momentous decision, the likes of which can change the lives of mice and men, but one which is bothering me nevertheless.

I’m wondering whether or not to (gasp) defect from LiveJournal to WordPress. Sort of.

You see as time goes by I’m starting to feel like the things that I write in my posts don’t belong on LiveJournal anymore. There’s something of a cliche about this, I admit: it’s been said that LiveJournallers tend to have an audience in the thirties whereas other bloggers’ audiences range into the hundreds, but I still don’t quite feel right about writing what I write here.

It’s as if you’re all watching me.

Which is, of course, complete bunk, but it’s how I feel and it feels very, very weird.

And that’s why I set up The BinnsBlog on my own webspace. It’s a place where I can write without worrying about who my audience (if there is one) is. (Long time readers will remember my post about Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle as applied to LiveJournal, and it still holds true I’m afraid).

So my quandry is this: Do I keep writing all my things here, filtering them because I somehow don’t want the public to read them coming from what I think of as a personal blog, or do I post them in The BinnsBlog (which runs on WordPress, by the way, and very good it is too)?

I’d still want to keep open because I want to be able to read your entries, and I’ll still use it to post personal things that I can’t say on a public blog (rants about work, for example), but you’d probably see the volume of my posts decrease somewhat vastly.

There is a LiveJournal feed for The BinnsBlog at , because I’m sad and narcissistic like that, so anyone who wanted to read what I was writing there could…

I’ve suddenly realised that this post is in itself rather narcissistic. I do apologise. I’m sure that you understand what I’m on about though, and your thoughts are welcome.
