In fact, I’ve got a prototype of TinyScreenfuls in Wordpress up and running. I’m still doing some tweaking and playing around, to make sure all of the features I need are there and configured correctly, so that site is very much under development, but if you want to have a peek, go ahead. Let me know what you think.
If I do make the change, everything should be pretty seamless, except for one thing - my feed. I’m using the Blogger-generated Atom.xml feed, which would go away. Ideally, I would have used Feedburner from the beginning (I did on all subsequent blogs I created), so I could make that change transparent. I’m still fiddling around with ways to make people not have to resubscribe, because I know that’s a pain, and I don’t want to lose any readers.
Anyway, just an update. Feedback is welcome.

Ok, this is just TOO scary. I too, use 1&1 as my host provider, both for the Commute-Cast and for kct’s digital world. Both are actually published using Blogger and I just mentioned within the past week that I was considering a move to WordPress.com. About an hour before I saw your post, I decided NOT to move to WP.com. Instead, I’m going to pay a few bucks to have my site hosted and run the WordPress platform directly. Why? Well, the ideas I have for the next iteration of my blog will require some more customization than WP.com will allow.
WP.com will meet the needs of many folks and is built off of a great platform, but I need the full-flavored version of WP. For your needs, Josh, I think you made the right choice. I’ve used WP for over a year and it’s great!
