In reply to Orin. Hmmm, I'll have to see if I can figure out how to do that.

In reply to Steve Williams. You should remove the login link from whatever pages it appears on. Instead, bookmark the page that appears when you click on "Log in" and use that when you need to log in. I see no reason to put the idea in random peoples' heads by providing that link (which probably comes from 20 years spent in IT). If at some future time you want to offer premium content that requires subscribers to log in, bring it back, but until then, get rid of the login link.

In reply to Len. It's sort of like growing your own food. We could all probably do it, but who would want to? I'm glad I have some choices.

Well, so far not much work on WordPress aside from moderating comments and keeping everything updated. Backup is automated along with a few other things. I’m trying to keep it simple.

No restrictions on the self-hosted site. Limited only by skill, imagination, grit and cash. I’m in trouble I guess. As far as the cost goes, I’ve always been involved in some sort of creative project and film, paper, the things I needed cost money. Now I”m spending on the blog instead.

Beautiful photos especially the one with the Vespa highlighted… 😉

Self-hosted WordPress. I’m impressed, you must feel like you have some free time. I used to run WordPress on Linux and I just looked into running a site on WordPress.com and I can’t believe the restrictions and fees. SquareSpace seems to be a better deal though not optimized for blogging but much more cost effective option.

I would agree with David’s comment about comments from an iOS anything is much easier and more predictable. Blogger is broken in so many ways but there aren’t many good, free options available.

In reply to Loughton Smith.

I agree, there have been a lot of thoughtful comments lately.

We’re lucky in State College to have several dealers and a couple independent motorcycle mechanics. And within a 50 mile radius there are even more.

If I had more time I would attempt a lot more mechanical work. Maybe in retirement I’ll try to take on a project bike or scooter. For now I am going to let the dealer do everything. Next week the Vespa will be in for a belt and rollers change.
