Welcome to my all-new blog

I decided to move to Google's Blogger, for several reasons:

• Nicer interface (WYSIWYG option on posting)
• Integration with other Google tools: Google are my heroes, they really know about the concepts of 'Quality' and 'Common Sense' and they make my internet life 100x easier. They wouldn't know "evil" if it hit them in the face (unless they're very good at bluffing.) Winners.
• As above, with possible entries from a mobile. Oooooh, mobile.
• It's actually got a very similar interface to Wordpress (who stole what from whom I wonder) but it seems more polished
• Time for a clean slate (but I may transfer some or all old posts)
• The code is hosted and looked after by Google, rather than relying on me to keep it up-to-date and defended against spam etc. Spam was a *massive* problem on my Wordpress installation, and I was almost willing to pay someone else to worry about it. Letting someone else worry about it for free = winner!
• It will upload via FTP to my existing website, not only that but if this turns out unsuitable I can set up a 'cname' tag on the Custom DNS service of the excellent VirtualNames (who enabled my Custom DNS at 23:30 - burning the midnight oil eh!)... this means blog.deryk.co.uk would point directly to Google's servers, if I desire it to work that way.
• Time for more sections. I'm a web developer and I know when to develop my own stuff and when to use someone else's software rather than duplicating effort. I think it's time for more of my own work, in addition to the blog.

Thanks for reading!
