Yes you have issues with things like embedding Youtube videos. Also it has a more dull look compared to other options offered by my paid service. So presentation is something i would like to see improved.<BR/><BR/>But it does allow you to add those widgets which add a lot to content and customization of how to show this content.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714242789714258767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664719871065717763.post-10978605471655896102009-02-04T16:36:00.000+00:002009-02-04T16:36:00.000+00:00Hi Jo,Thanks for breaking all this down. I wish I ...Hi Jo,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for breaking all this down. I wish I had your post to read back in January when I was figuring out all the steps involved in (and all the choices to be made about) setting up a blog for the first time!<BR/>Even though you didn't delve into the self-hosted world of wordpress.org, I just wanted to point out something that, were I to have known it from the beginning, would have saved me a couple of days of re-development. For anyone who wants to include any kind of flash content in their blog posts, it's important to know that wordpress.com doesn't support it! (They say it's for security reasons.) Wordpress.org, on the other hand, allows you to customise the features and functionality of your blog (with the help of plugins) that will allow you to publish flash easily and seamlessly. There are also plugins that allow your to integrate Google Analytics or other statistical trackers, etc. And I think that the wordpress plugin for Zotero is only relevant to wordpress.org blogs, but I could be mistaken. I write about it more here (http://www.virtuallyscholastic.com/2009/01/keeping-up-with-technology-choice-or-necessity/) but the important thing to know is that if you are at all entertaining the thought of posting messages with even the occasional snippet of flash code, you may want to consider hosting your own wordpress blog, or going for a paid service.<BR/>KatherineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
