New Look, New Name, New Address or Why I Left WordPress

Okay, to be honest, I never did get the hang of WordPress. But that wasn't why I left. I would have been willing to struggle on, trying out new themes, adding plug-ins, and generally making a mess of things. And I would have been willing to laugh off the spammy comments from shoe companies and sunglass makers. But when the list of phony subscribers kept growing and the dubious hits kept climbing, I knew it was time to make a move.

I did try to delete them, but they kept coming back.

I know all the cool kids are on WordPress. But how cool is it if every blog post gets sent out to nearly 200 pretend readers? Really. I needed something idiot-proof.

I also needed a new name. Bacon Press Books Blog just didn't cut it. So I've chosen Bacon and Books. But the truth is, this blog is about Bacon Press Books authors and titles, indie publishing and rookie mistakes. I'll try, now and then, to write about bacon but I'm not making any promises.
