Okay ! This is not the first blog i have created but of course its been created with lots of pondering around. The reason being i had specific needs this time while i wanted all my previous blogs to be out of the audience i seek to for this particular blog. I wanted one particular name for the blog which already was owned by me in blogger but there were hell lot of posts in it which does not become part of the scheme of things i intend to do for the new one. And i didn't want to lose the old posts also, so i thought lets explore the same name on other blogging platforms.Hence started the quest:
I was aware of the next best alternative - Wordpress.com and had pretty good hands-on on what can be done and what cant be done on it. Its good , in fact very good and suffice for a normal blogging experience. The two setbacks which i can see are no way to monetize (Yes , the Google Adsense still rules) and non-support for Java Scripts and Google Analytics' code. The last part was a big deterrent because i intend to play around a lot with Google Analytics part. I then googled to find out the next alternative blogging platform. Typepad came up but got turned down as we need to pay for it except during the trial. Tumblr caught the eyes because of the wide range of templates , its sheer simplicity and ability to integrate with Google Analytics. But but but no widgets or the gadgets. So i landed up again with blogger account; didnt delete the old one with the name i wanted and finally chose The Social Canvas which went on well with the template which i could discover after lots of screening.
The learning is raw, intuitive reflection and judgment based on my own unique experience and point of view. The basic objective was to set up a blog from a long term perspective which would focus on social web and technologies in particular and can cover a much wider audience than those following my personal posts earlier while also giving me a lot of open options like ample templates to choose from , Google Analytics and Monetization. Of course i can invest time but not money so there is no question of having one of my own domain but yeah in the future the option should be open to link the current free blog with my own domain(its easy).
