I started a new writing project. It’s a blog, but it’s the kind of thing that I don’t want to make public until a certain amount of writing has already been done on it. I think it will be about 6 months before I make it public.
So, I started it on blogger because that is really easy to make a private blog on, I already have an account, and I’ve imported two blogs from blogger to wordpress with no problems (both She’s Right and All Things Hold Together started on blogger).
But, this morning as I was posting, I started thinking about all of the wordpress features I am not using, like categories. My other blogs imported as “uncategorized” which made it clunky to try and use a cloud tag, unless I wanted to go back and categorize years of posts.
Plus, now that wordpress 3.0 is out, I am dying to use it! Starting a new blog with it will allow me to utilize all of its features from the get go.
What I am wondering is whether or not I should just start the blog on wordpress and how I want to go about doing that. The two biggest issues are how to make it private and where to put it. When I finally make my blog public, it will be under my own domain name, which I do not have yet. I want to be sure I love the title. As it is, I just decided that I don’t like my working title. In the meantime, I am not sure where to put the site. I mean, obviously, I will put it on my server where I have all of my blogs.
I feel like I didn’t really think this through before I started writing, but I only have a handful of posts done, so I want to figure this out now.
Any suggestions?
