Bye bye LJ

Finally moved out of LJ for good to a wordpress install on my site. I resisted for few years, but finally it was about time. When I started using LJ back in 2002, LJ was my social network, my rss aggregator, my friends page, and my twitter and facebook. Most of all, it was run by an amazing team who really cared about LJ.

But things have changed now. LJ gives a damn about its users. All my social network happens on twitter+orkut+facebook and all my LJ friends are already there.. My rss aggregator is Bloglines and LJ does not have any meaning for me now.

So kindly update your RSS feeds guys as my new blog is here : http://kalyanvarma.net/journal

Anush and Gowtham helped me move the posts and customize the WP theme. Thanks a ton guys. The new blog still has some rough edges, but will fix all them soon and I will cross-post for few weeks till I move fully.

    The posts need more contrast!

    Cool… while am still a fan of LJ.. ur points do make me think. Its always good to have the blog hosted on ur own space i guess.. gives you that sense of control at the end of the day.

    Updated my RSS feed bro. This comment colour scheme is little out of match. You can even install plugins such as geopress etc. to geotag you blog posts too.
