Moving to squarespace

Well, I bit the bullet. I'm moving my website to Squarespace. I've manually moved all my previous blog posts over already, set up the theme I want, customized a few things, and all that nonsense. So far, I've been very happy with the entire experience.

Suarespace itself has been unbelievably fast. I'm not sure how they do it, asside from a massive cluster of machines scattered somewhere around the country, but it works extremely well. There have been no stability issues, no setup questions, and best of all, nothing has broken! The WYSIWYG editor has completely blown me away by not only being easy to use, but better than any I have ever used in the past.

So, I will lose a few features that Godaddy offers. I will also be paying slightly more for the Squarespace service than I did at Godaddy. But, the benefits I gain from having such an easy-to-maintain website justify the move. The simplicity of attaching media to a blog post, or adding a normal web page alone make this one of the best hosting platforms I've seen in my life.

If you would like to try Squarespace, please click here. They offer a completely free 14-day trial, which will allow you to try the service pretty thoroughly before you commit to a plan. Offering so many features in a free trial alone brings their service up a few notches in my book. If you do decide to try Squarespace's service, let me know what you think!
